  Hello.
  I have a wordpress-hosted blog at http://benjaminwilkinson.wordpress.com.

  The dipstick that I am, I forgot the username that I recently changed and the email I registered with.

  Please help!

  (I haven’t got any of the username change emails, and this is another account I created to post this)

  Yep, that message above. It’s because this account doesn’t have any blogs associated with it.

  Hi,
  You will need Staff help. In order to help you get access to your blog Staff need one of the following things in order to correctly identify you as the blog owner:

  1. an email from the email address associated with the account or revealing what that associated email address was

  2. the wordpress.com API key for your account. This was included in your welcome email with a note to keep it safe. Please do not post the API key here.

  3. if you have purchased any upgrades for the blog a transaction number

  Do you have any of those?

  I may have a problem.
  It looks like I may have accidentally deleted the welcome email. Or my Mac did it for me when I ran out of HDD space.

  I have a selection of emails, one of which may be associated with the blog. I can’t submit multiple emails and say ‘It’s one of them!’, Can I? :s

  Thanks for all your help anyway!

  Feels good to be blogging again!
