  I want to delete my website. I no longer have the email account I used to register it. I don’t have any records showing that I own the account. But I do have photo ID and my name and photo are posted online at news sources The Baltimore Banner and The Baltimore Sun. This website was my college portfolio and I want it deleted. It appears on the first page if you google my name. I’m a reporter, people look for my work a lot and see my portfolio, can you please just remove it. Thank you

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