  After letting my registration lapse, I realize I need to update my website. I tried to restore my WordPress registration, but instead I ended up getting a new site with the ending ‘wordpress.com’ instead of the ‘.com’ that was in my former site. I want to cancel this and be allowed to edit my former site.

  WP.com: Yes
  Jetpack: No
  Correct account: Yes

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

  First things first: what was the URL of your lapsed domain?

  Your site https://www.markfitzpatrickwroteit.com/ is up and running. We can’t help you much as your site isn’t running on the wordpress.com platform but is hosted and registered by Dreamhost, https://www.whois.com/whois/markfitzpatrickwroteit.com

  That site is in no way connected to a wordpress.com account for login. You can log in at https://www.markfitzpatrickwroteit.com/wp-login.php using the credentials you choose when you set up that site.
