  I don’t know how to log into my current website. The login is from an old account. I don’t know where to find the new site I designed this past week. I can’t tell if it’s a different account or under the same login, just somewhere that I don’t know how to access. Any advice?

  Thanks!

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

  You have to be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog’s dashboard.

  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

  If required please complete the form for account recovery at this link https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery and submit it to the Account Recovery Staff so they can contact you by email ie. not on these public support forums which are available to everyone with internet access.

  This is really awesome. Thank you for the response. Is there a difference between blogs and web pages? I only see the one blog when I follow the 2nd link you provided.

  Thanks again!

  Is there a difference between blogs and web pages?

  The quick answer is: Structure and semantics are the differences.

  A blog is a website.

  A blog is a post based website designed for interactive communication. As the posts are frequently updated and appear on the front page of the site it’s very attractive to search engines.

  What most people call a website is merely a page based site that functions as a one way noticeboard. As the structure is page based and as pages are for static content that rarely changes, and as pages do not have RSS feeds, and as others do not backlink to pages, it is not as attractive to search engines as a post based blog structured site is.

  Any WordPress blog can be restructured from being post based to being page based – no upgrade required. For greater clarity read > http://en.support.wordpress.com/using-wordpress-to-create-a-website/

  Here’s a link to my step by step post too http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2013/07/25/create-a-wordpress-website-step-by-step/

  I only see the one blog when I follow the 2nd link you provided.

  How many did you expect to see?
  What is the URL of the other site?

  You could have registered another blog under a different username account and associated email address.

  Hi there,

  Your WordPress.com username ensemblecoaching is only linked to one WordPress.com site. If you create a new WordPress.com website recently, that’s linked to a different account and you’ll need to log in using the username and password you set up when you created that site.

  If you’re not sure what login details to use, you can follow our Account Recovery guide (including using the account recovery form timethief mentioned) for more assistance regaining access to the correct account for that website.
