  The sole administrator of a wordpress.com blog is currently in a coma (since early sept.) and of course not able to do anything on it.
  The blog is : http://li188notdead.wordpress.com
  The administrator once gave me editor rights but I didn’t use dit and the activation link is not working anymore.
  How can I get either editor or admin rights now ?

  There is a sole owner of every blog. It is the person with the username account who registered the blog. Staff cannot just hand off blogs to others. The blog’s owner has to transfer the blog to another official username of the blog after assigning them the Admin role.

  Thank you for your response.
  I know what the administrator should do but he is not able to.
  Is there a way to prove that I already was given editor rights to get it back ?
