  I looked up how to do it but it keeps talking about a dashboard, which I’m guessing has either been removed or I just can’t find it. I’d like to delete a category I have but I can’t figure it out.

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

  Were you able to remove the categories? Please let me know if you could…I am facing the same problem.

  Oh, thank you!! Just now saw the link. I just don’t know where to access the dashboard in general, because it doesn’t show up for me anywhere.

  Hi there,
  The Admin login link for every blog hosted by wordpress.COM is:
  http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/

  All you need to do is replace NAME_OF_BLOG with your actual blog name in the URL.
