  Cleaning up “blogs I follow” list
  Using latest version of Firefox, on a Windows 7 OS that is up-to-date
  Have tried deleting via the “X” symbol on WordPress.com “Blogs I follow” list –
  Have tried going over and “Unfollowing” a blog first, then trying to delete it –

  Sigh – still errors –
  Any insight or guidance appreciated!
  Thanks

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

  Sorry for not clarifying – The blogs are either “unfollowed” or “deleted” but pain in the arse that each time I try to delete a blog from my ‘I follow” list, it results in an error message and refreshes the page to the top of the list to show me said error message – :) I did as message instructed – opened the ‘contact support’ link in message – spent some time going through all the steps/searches/links provided in step 1 and 2 before posting – – just saying – after 2 hours of this, have not collected any relevant data that allows me to tell WordPress.com why the error message shows up, but it is still happening, though a total screen refresh shows the deleted ‘blog to follow’ gone –
  Let me know if there are things I can do to help you troubleshoot, if you believe necessary – thanks! :)

  I have worked the past few hours to go from 227 blogs followed to 131 – the list seems to be clean, but the no corresponding ‘similarities’ to tell you why the error message received on every blog delete but 2
  Of the ones that didn’t throw an error message:
  – one was a blog that was expired
  – one was an RSS feed – though other follows that only showed an RSS feed style info page when clicked on from “Blogs I Follow” page, did show the error message – every time, whether I “unfollowed them” via the orange check button on their feed page first or just tried to delete them via “X” button on my home “Blogs I follow” Page –

  Can you please take a screenshot of the error that’s appearing?

  Once you have the image, upload it to your media library so I can take a look.

  I’ve tried to recreate this in Windows 7 with Firefox but cannot make it display any errors so far. Seeing the error message will help me track this down.

  Thanks,
