Forums / I can't post or access my old blog

I can't post or access my old blog

    I have a blog which I would like to begin using again, but it has been inactive for quite awhile. It still exists when I search for it, however, when I log in it lists two other blogs which are not mine (one I know of, the other I have posted to in the past). How do I get access to my blog again? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

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

    The blog I need help with is definitely NOT the one listed above. That must have been added to my post automatically. The blog I need help with is alwaystowardsbetterthings.wordpress.com

    Thanks!

    Can anyone please help? I have no idea how to access my own blog, given that I can’t do so when logging in…

    In order to access any blog one must be logged in under the exact same username account and associated email address that registered the blog in question. How many username accounts for you have? Are you logging in under the correct username account?

    Clicking this link should display all your 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-visibility

    If you have lost your log-in information you can visit https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword and if required click “Need More Help?”

    Thanks thistimethispace.

    I guess I have two usernames associated with the same email address, so when I log into my account using my email, it only takes me to these two other blogs. I can only access my primary blog by logging in under this other username, not by using my email. Is there anyway to merge these two accounts under one username?

    You have two separate email address settings at WordPress.com.

    Blog notifications for the admin (like comment moderation, Likes, new subscriptions, etc) are sent to the email address at Settings -> General in the Dashboard.

    Personal notifications (like comments on your post, subscription emails, and upgrade renewals) are sent to the email address at Users -> Personal Settings in the Dashboard.
