  The blog linked to your username is an empty free hosted WordPress.com blog. Is this a free hosted WordPress.com issue? If not and the blogs involved are WordPress.org installs then you are posting to the wrong support forum. the correct one in that case is here > http://wordpress.org/support/

  Timethief, the blog is from the .com side. But I am not sure if the original blog was .com. I am thinking it was .org. I was not the one who set it up.

  If you post the URL’s of both blogs then someone can take a look and probably tell you who the hosts are.
