  I’m trying to login to this site: http://blog.paradigm-sys.com to make comments. It directs me automatically to the wordpress.com login page. I put in my login details, but it tells me it’s an invalid username. Even though I’m currently logged at wordpress.com, have full access to my dashboard etc. I also have a gravatar, but that doesn’t work. There seems to be no other way to log in, the site give me no other option except the wordpress prompt. I have successfully commented on other blog sites not hosted by wordpress with my wordpress ID and/or Gravatar. Why the problem now?

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

  This:
  http://blog.paradigm-sys.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fblog.paradigm-sys.com%2Farchives%2F725

  is not the WordPress.com login page.

  It is a WordPress.org login page unique to that blog.

  In order to comment there, you must already have a user ID for that blog.
