  there is a lost password function also – is there another account you might have used when you opened that blog?

  Hi auxclass, thanks for responding. I’ve used that http address to login. As far as I am aware that’s the only way in to view that blog right?

  Once logged in the ‘dashboard’ has no options, nor a blog of this name visible.

  top to bottom = dashboard, profile, personal settings & collapse menu.

  Deleted it 3-4 yrs ago, so can’t be due to search engines…still picking it up. Have done a lot of googling of this problem with no luck…

  Your blog looks very much alive to me, not that I am an expert. I guess you need to talk to the happiness engineers!

  >>Once logged in the ‘dashboard’ has no options, nor a blog of this name visible.<<

  You haven’t hidden it by any chance? If you log in and look at My Blogs you should see top right:

  My Blogs

  Here’s an overview of your blogs. From here, you can manage your posts, pages, comments, and your blog’s appearance.

  You also have 4 hidden blogs.

  If you have blogs hidden from your dashboard that is where you can see them as that is a link.

  The blog alisonhowellportfolio.wordpress.com is still live. If you wish to modify or delete it, you can log in under the username/email address you used to create the site (which is not swan1989).

  If you are having difficulty remembering your account credentials, you can go to https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword and click on the “Need more help?” link to reach our account recovery team.

  Jackiedana, I think you’re right on the ball. I’ve just submitted my details in the “need more help” section.

  I think it may be registered under my old uni email address.

  Thanks so much everyone for your help.

  I’ll update this thread if all is successful :)
