I am locked out of my blog and into an identity i don't know
-
Please, please help. I have entered the A-Z blogging challenge for April, and am doing a blog a day. I have to comment on other people’s blogs, but when I try on some blogs it tells me that i have to log in with my WordPress password. I tried to do this and it didn’t work. So I changed my password. But when I log in with this password – it takes me to two blogs i have no knowledge (or memory!) of – Lizbpoet and a cloud chamber one, which I am a member of. The blog I need and want to get to is now not allowing me access!
The blog I need to get to is – http://www.lizbrownleepoet.com – I also have a few other blogs which I access through this identity.
Help! i am locked out of my own blog! I wish to get rid of this lizbpoet identity, so this doesn’t happen again, but how? I’d be terrified of getting rid of my other blog with is very precious!
Liz
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You have failed to link a primary blog to your username. See here >
http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2007/10/06/link-your-username-to-your-blog/lizbrownleepoet.com is set as the primary domain for poetlizbrownlee.wordpress.com and will appear in the address bar when you visit the site.
My guess is that you have multiple username accounts with blogs registered under them and you do not log out and clear your browser cache and cookies before logging in under another account.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/Also note that WordPress.COM blogs and WordPress.ORG blogs have different logins.
You must be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog’s dashboard.
Clicking this link should display all your WordPress.com blogs registered under the same username, including the hidden ones: https://dashboard.wordpress.com/wp-admin/index.php?page=my-blogs&show=hidden
If you do not see the blog here http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/ then
follow this guide > http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/#my-blogs-dashboard-visibilityIf you have lost your log-in information you can visit https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword
If required complete the form for account recovery.

Hello, and thank you. This has happened before – always when I am trying to post on other people’s blogs – I seem to get shifted sideways into another universe where my blog is lizbrownleepoet.wordpress.com and also something to do with Cloudchamber.
I do not see these blogs ever in my list when I am in lizbrownleepoet.com – and where i can access Animalmagic poems.wordpress.com and howto writechildren’s poetry and liz brownlee author (for Amazon). Also two others in the list where i am just an admin.
You are right, I don’t ever log out of the latter blogs. Just switch across to another in the list top right under my photo, as they all have the same password.
I would very much like to get rid of the lizbrownleepoet.wordpress.com identity under that password, but would that mean i could not use it ever again?
I have managed to get into my other identity now, but I have no idea how!
My brain is not good at this sort of stuff!
i am saving your info to refer to, i have to go out to a book meeting now, but thank you SO much for your response.
Am i being an idiot? Really on a quick read i don’t quite understand.

Aha! I have been to the page in your link and obeyed the instructions about linking my username to a primary blog – and i have already tried to do this.
What is the problem is that my primary blog (www.lizbrownleepoet.com) is NOT IN THE LIST!!! Instead, poetlizbrownlee.wordpress.com is. And other blogs that are not my primary blog.
http://www.lizbrownleepoet.wordpress.com is the blog I keep getting muddled up with. To make things more complicated, my primary user name is poetliz. But my address starts lizbrownleepoet.
On this blog I don’t want my user name is lizbpoet.
Could this be where the muddle is? It is getting muddled itself? I wouldn’t have thought this is possible since it is a computer?
Anyhow, at the moment I cannot link my username to my primary blog as it isn’t there.
Thanks,
L

Also, on your next point, I logged in to that address to see all my blogs including the hidden ones – and it did NOT SHOW the two blogs that i keep getting taken to!
One is http://www.poetlizbrownlee.wordpress.com
This blog has nothing on it at all. Not a thing. It is in a list with Cloudchamber, a blog that I seem to have been made an author on – I was invited to join this blog but cannot recall having done so.
These two blogs are reached by a different password to my others.
I don’t understand how this blog exists.
I also have a website which was made by a third party for me – i reach this on another password again, and its address is http://www.poetlizbrownlee.co.uk
I think this site may be on your .org site.

Also – under the list of my blogs in dashboard visibility, the address for my liz brownlee – poet blog is poetlizbrownlee.wordpress.com, but the address which finds it in the address bar is http://www.lizbrownleepoet.com which I bought.
