  I recently moved my blog from WordPress.com to a self-hosted WordPress site. I pointed my domain name (which I purchased through WordPress.com) to my new site. I would like to move the domain registration away from WordPress.com now and register it with my host. However, since I deleted my old WordPress.com blog I no longer have access to the Store/Domains/My Domain area. Please let me know how I can access my domain controls so that I can unlock my domain and generate the EPP code I need. The domain in question is “thealmondeater.com”

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

  Thank you. I just received this message from jeherve in my inbox but am unable to reply to him directly for some reason.
  Hi there,

  Could you contact me via the WordPress.com account you used to create the now-deleted blog, and purchase your domain?

  I will then be able to restore your site, or transfer the domain to another WordPress.com site of yours so you can transfer it out of WordPress.com to Bluehost.

  If you don’t have access to your account or forgot the password, you can request a new password by entering your email address here: http://wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword

  Please follow the instructions carefully. You’ll receive an email during the reset process, so please make sure you read it for instructions. If you don’t receive the email right away, check your spam folder as well because the confirmation email can end up there.

  Thanks!

  Is there a way you can send him this message? I believe this account is my wordpress.com account that my deleted blog was attached to.
