Has the process to "unlike" a post changed?

  I have done the cardinal sin on liking one of my own posts (by accident…I wanted to see who liked it, but clicking the button made me like it).

  I have been trying to ‘unlike’ the post for over a hour, but all the instructions on how to ‘unlike’ don’t work.

  I have tried to follow the support page, however the tab for ‘Blogs I Like’ is missing, so I can’t remove the like. When I click on the ‘Read posts I like’, it tries to open a page, but the tab it’s loading is ‘Freshly Pressed’ and fails (just shows the loading WordPress logo.

  I have been able to find a list of posts I like, by going to the ‘Following’ tab on the WordPress main page, but it doesn’t give me any option to ‘unlike’ the post.

  I noted that it was only a couple of weeks back someone had the same problem, and it appeared the support pages were working fine then, so was wondering:

  Is the ‘Posts I Like’ currently being updated, hence me having problems?
  Is there a workaround to fix the problem in the mean time?

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

  I don’t know how I ended up “liking’ my own post, but I can’t find any way to “unlike’ it.
