I have two blogs but can't access site admin for the second one

    My second blog “Provence on Your Plate” is apparently not linked to my profile, since I can’t access site admin for it. My first blog “First You Take a Leek” seems to be fine. Why aren’t both blogs listed when I log into WordPress.com ? Connie
    Blog url: http://conbarnwils.wordpress.com/

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

    It’s possible that the blog is hidden. 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

    Important note: You must be logged in under the same username account that actually registered the blog in order to access the blog.

    I have this sinking feeling that when I created the second blog, I may not have used the same username and password, and those bits of info seem to have got lost. Yikes. I’ve tried all the likely code words I might have used, and have also confirmed that the blog isn’t merely hidden. What now? Is there an administrator at WordPress that can give me access?

    Is this the blog in question? http://provenceonyourplate.wordpress.com/
    Note the contact page > http://provenceonyourplate.wordpress.com/contact-me/

    Yep, that’s the blog, and that’s my correct contact info. Now what? (And by the way, thanks so much for your help!)

    access old blog no email address or login info

    The person who owns the blog is the person with the username account who registered the blog and who provided the email address the blog is associated with.

    In order to help get access to the blog Staff need one of the following things in order to correctly identify you as the blog owner:

    1. an email from the email address associated with the account or revealing what that associated email address was

    2. the wordpress.com API key for the account. This was included in your welcome email with a note to keep it safe.

    3. a transaction number if any upgrades were purchased for the blog

    Do you have any of those?

    1. Can do
    2. Got an API key when I started the first blog; don’t see any subsequent one issued
    3. No upgrades purchased.

    How would I send these to staff?

    That’s good news. I’ll flag this thread for Staff attention and you can subscribe to the RSS feed in the sidebar. When Staff enter the thread your will be notified and they will specify what to do next.

    If you have lost access to your WordPress.com account, please visit https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword and click “Need More Help?” if necessary.

    I went to that page, and clicked on “Need More Help?” and filled out the fields, noting my blog at http://provenceonyourplate.wordpress.com/ . I received this automated response: “Sorry but the website you gave does not exist on WordPress.com. Is it a self-hosted WordPress.org website?” So now I am really confused.

    That’s strange barbecue I can access it http://provenceonyourplate.wordpress.com/
    I flagged this thread for Staff help.

    Yes, it’s really strange. Clearly, it’s a wordpress.com blog. Will hope that staff appears with a solution. thanks.

    I can’t find any requests from you. Did you use the “Need More Help?” button and enter provenceonyourplate.wordpress.com as the blog URL as suggested above?

    If you did, what email address did you use?
