  My wife’s experiment with a tutorial has replaced my blog. Anybody understand how this can happen? My blogs (pathume.wordpress.com) are still available online, but I can no longer access them to add or edit posts. My blog management tool shows only my wife’s tutorial, and nothing else.

  Any ideas? Sadly, WordPress support is unavailable this weekend.

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

  If you look at Dashboard -> My Blogs does it still show all of them? They have been marked as hidden, which would cause them to not appear in management tools.

  They MAY have been marked as hidden, rather. Yeesh, I think I need more coffee…

  How are you connecting to the internet and to WordPress.com? The way you connect to the internet (mobile, satellite, DSL, dial-up) and to your blog, and how many proxy server jumps etc. it takes to connect can cause problems. There maybe be problems with your ISP and/or with the proxy servers.

  Are you using http:// or https:// see http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/

  Are you logging in using the correct username?

  Sorry to ask such a basic question but there have been several people with “can’t get into the blog” symptoms and they were using a different account. It looks like “pathume” is an Author / user of the blog you are asking about not the account you have logged into here to ask for help.
