  I have sites in the My Blogs section that are showing up but I do not want to see them anymore because I only have one that I actively use. It is annoying to sift through the stats just to find one. Is there a way to remove them?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi jamesgeiger,

  This support document explains how to delete any blogs that you no longer need: Deleting Sites.

  I think you misread. I had these via .org but they show up because of Jetpack. I am not talking about wordpress.com sites here. They show up in the stats section on this site, not in the dash.

  @jamesgeiger,
  Note that if you delete WordPress.com URLs, they cannot be recycled and reused again. http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/ If you are unsure then simply make the blogs private http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/ and hide them from display in My Blogs. http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/#my-blogs-dashboard-visibility

  Provided you have installed and activated the JetPack plugin http://jetpack.me on your WordPress.org install, and you post the relevant URL(s) into a forum thread, Staff will do the transfer of both subscribers and stats for you. http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/moving-your-subscribers/#wordpress-com-to-self-hosted-site Do that now please as I have tagged this thread for their attention.

  Hi jamesgeiger,

  My apologies for the misunderstanding. It was not apparent in your post that the sites were self-hosted. I couldn’t assume that because they were showing up in your stats, they were self-hosted.

  Nonetheless, I am truly glad that you resolved the issue with timethief’s help.

  It’s easy to miss what I posted as you are from WordPress.org. I asume the support forums there must be slow today or you would not be here unless you are a Staff wannbe. ;) If so then see here http://automattic.com/work-with-us/ and best wishes.

  @timethief, that’s pretty funny. Actually, I am also volunteering here at WordPress.com. Interestingly enough, I sometimes wondered if you should be working for Automattic! You’re pretty damn good at supporting users here.

  Best wishes to you as well and thanks for the friendly message!

  @Jagst3r15 – If those Jetpack connection are defunct, I can remove them from your account entirely, if you confirm which ones you want gone.
