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

  Hi @joesexton,

  I see several duplicate entries on your blog. Can you let me know a bit about how you’re creating these posts? If you create a post on your site and then save it to finish later, you would want to re-open the draft from here rather than create a new post:

  Are you by chance starting a new post each time?

  Instead of doing this, you’ll want to start on this page:

  https://joescompositions.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=post

  Then, from there, you can use the Edit link shown here to edit your post:

  Can you give that a try for your next post? That shouldn’t produce any duplicates on your blog!
