  I’m not sure what’s going on or if I can even do this. But the way I understood it is I can log into any WordPress website, blog, or whatever as long as it is powered by WordPress. Every time I try to do this it tells me that I have entered an invalid username.

  It sounds like you may be trying to log in to WordPress.org powered sites with your WordPress.com username. To clarify, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two separate entities, this page will give you some more information on the subject.

  Can you give me some examples of sites to which you’re unable to login? I can then confirm what’s going on here. Cheers!

  Those are definitely WordPress.org sites, so you’ll need to register specifically with the site in question.
