  Hello

  I’ve got message that somebody followed my blog which doesn’t exist anymore (for a long time) – viader.wordpress.com. The blog which I have now is radiev.wordpress.com. Is there any explanation for that?

  Regards,
  radiev.

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

  That is an odd issue. I’ve reported it to our developers to see what I can find out for you.

  It looks like someone can follow deleted a blog by going to http://en.wordpress.com/read/edit/ and entering the blog address there. In your case, it looks like your most recent follower has a blog with a similar name to your deleted blog, and it was likely a typo.

  Our developers are going to look into this further to see if they can prevent this from happening in the future, but for now, I don’t think there’s anything you need to worry about.
