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

  Hello goofyed,

  I found another support forum thread that addresses a similar issue and the staff member, supernovia, recommended contacting them directly at http://wordpress.com/help/contact.

  Thanks and hope this helps! :)

  Hi there,

  Since you’re not using any Premium themes or any Custom CSS, downgrading to the Free plan won’t have an impact on your site’s appearance apart from the occasional ads that appear on free sites.

  Also, if you plan on keeping your domain fridayfrivolities.com instead of using the full WordPress.com address of fridayfrivolities.wordpress.com you can do so and only pay for the domain’s renewal ($26).

  Alternatively, you can downgrade to the Personal plan and keep the domain, remove the ads, and have access to live chat support.

  I also noticed that the account you’re using to post to this forum (goofyed) is neither the owner of the site nor the one that purchased the Premium plan. To help you with the downgrade you’ll need to contact us from the account eusinghing through this form:
