  I haven’t posted on my blog parenttraps.wordpress.com in a long while. I went to check it today and start to blog and I no longer have access to my dashboard. Can I revive the blog somehow? Has it been closed? Help!
  Blog url: http://parenttraps.wordpress.com

  In 90% of cases, it’s that you’re trying to sign in from a username that doesn’t have access to that blog. Do you have more than one WordPress.com ID?

  Hi,

  Your blog hasn’t been closed, and you can still view it at the blog address mentioned in your original post.

  My best suggestion (along the same lines as raincoaster mentioned) is to try resetting passwords for other email addresses linked to WordPress.com accounts using the forgot password page:

  http://wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword

  Note: Don’t use the email address associated with your “diannaflett” username since that’s the one you’re logged into. You can see the email address associated with this account from the Settings tab on the WordPress.com home page.

  Yay! It worked. I’d forgotten that I started another blog and used my other information to log in. Duh…so you guys are brilliant!

  I’m glad to hear that you were able to log into your other account. If you want to consolidate the WordPress.com blogs under one account, you can transfer them with these steps:
