  Is it possible to delete a comment I made on someone else’s WordPress blog? I left a comment on someone’s “travel” blog a couple days ago and then realized upon revisiting their site tonight that they’re plagiarizing bits and pieces from a well-known guidebook series (and who knows what else). I’ll just move on and forget about it if deleting my comment on their site isn’t an option, but I feel like a dopey pawn in their lazy scheme and I’d prefer if my gravatar isn’t appearing anywhere on their site. Thanks in advance.

  Hi Jason – It’s an unfortunate situation, but it is not possible to edit or delete any comments you have left on other WordPress.com blogs. The Comments documentation recommends to try contacting the blog owner and ask them to edit or delete a comment for you.

  Cheers!
