  RE: http://www.TheShadesWriter.wordpress.com

  Hello there,
  I started a blog called TheShadesWriter. When I became ill, I made the blog private. Then I changed internet providers so I lost my old email. Now I want to go back in and make my blog public but I can’t remember the password. I can click on the “Forgot password” option, but the link to change it is always sent to the old email I had before I switched providers. Can anyone help me regain access to my blog?

  Thank you!

  Your last resort for obtaining access is to complete the form for account recovery at this link https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery with as much information as possible and submit it to the Account Recovery Staff so they can contact you by email ie. not on these public support forums which are available to everyone with internet access. They do have a backlog so patience is required while waiting for a response for the Account Recovery Team.
