  June 20 I was editing my site and inadvertently I must have eliminated one of my 3 blogs. It is no longer there as of today.

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

  What’s the URL of the missing blog? I checked ranschtrips.wordpress.com and it’s there.

  Those are the URL’s of the two blogs not removed. It’s hard to imagine but I cannot think of the title of the blog that I evidently removed. The photo image was of a steep snow-filled mountain side. The content mentioned two e-books that I had finished and others that I have planned to do. I think the title of the bog was something like “Moving Upward”, or “Climbing Higher”. I just can’t remember. Thanks for trying to help.

  Yes, it looks like it’s gone. I did a Google search and it led to “Climbing Higher” and a “page not found” error: https://ranschtrips.wordpress.com/2015/04/20/climbing-higher/

  With luck, the content is in the Trash where you can recover it. See this guide: https://en.support.wordpress.com/trash/#accessing-your-trash

  If your content is not there, you may try retrieving it from the Google cache (ie. Google’s copy of your content): http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:7d_hemGMCb8J:https://ranschtrips.wordpress.com/2015/04/20/climbing-higher/+site:ranschtrips.wordpress.com+the&cd=2&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us

  Thanks so much! I was unable to find and restore that blog, but I copied text of the one you found with a Google search, and re-installed the whole thing on my site. Easy work!

  There's something that I can't figure out how to rectify. My introduction to WordPress was through the blogs of another person. My site uses a different template than hers, yet her blogs are somehow connected with my site. For example, under “Your Stuff” are my posts followed by 4 of hers (dealing with kayak trips). I contact her site regularly to read her posts, but I don't want this recorded on my site. How do I delete or disconnect mine from hers?

  You’re welcome.

  “Your Stuff” shows your latest activity on WordPress.com, but only you see it, regular visitors don’t. If you left a comment on the kayak blog, then it will be listed in the “Your Stuff” section along with any updates you’ve made to your own blog.
