  yesterday I created a 2nd blog(mwelchfeed.wordpress.com) on my account and added a couple posts without issue. This morning I see duplicate entries under “My Blogs” showing the new blog listed twice and neither of them show the posts I made yesterday. I also appear to have lost my theme selection.

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

  Hi Matthew,

  The fact that you see two identical sites in you “My Blogs” page is definitely not normal. I’m happy to take a closer look. To better understand what may have gone amiss here, can you give me a little more background information?

  – What theme did you have activated on your site previously. I see the Ryu theme as active currently, but I am assuming that is not the theme you set. Is that correct?
  – For the posts you added, do you happen to have a link to them? Even though they do not appear on your site now, perhaps they are in your browser history from when you published them.

  Thanks for the additional info!

  thank you, I appreciate the help. I hadn’t done anything fancy, just requested a new blog be added to my user account and then emailed 1 post to the auto created address. This morning I emailed another article in, and noticed the issue.

  I believe the theme I selected was called “Skeptical”.

  For the posts I put up, they are listed on the dashboard of both blogs but the links to them do not work. Here are the links to both articles

  Hi Matthew,

  Thanks for the additional info. I am going to have my engineering team take a closer look here, and I will update you when I know more.

  Thanks for your patience. :)

  I’ve had the same problem with a second blog I added on December 31st. It’s: asmycameraseesit.wordpress.com I’m using the Spectrum theme.

  I now have TWO blogs with the same name (above) and after posting successfully for two day, today there is no content at all. No pages. No pictures. No post. Nothing. Please help. I don’t know what to do.

  Thanks so much.

  Hi I am J

  Sorry about that. You are all fixed up, and should only see one blog (and all the posts) listed here: http://wordpress.com/my-blogs/

  Good luck with your new camera, and since you are new to WordPress, you may want to check out the photo challenges we post every Friday. They are a lot of fun!

  Thanks so much for taking care of everything and for the link to the photo challenges, Jerrysarcastic. I know I have a lot to learn about WordPress yet so I do appreciate the help.
  My blog is working fine now, thanks to you, so let the fun begin…

  I am J
