This site has not disappeared https://blogdontjogcom.wordpress.com/ and I see content in it.
You must be logged in under the exact same username that registered the site to be able to access the site. The Admin login link to the dashboard for every blog hosted by wordpress.COM is:
http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/
*Replace NAME_OF_BLOG in that URL with the actual name of your blog.
I recommend bookmarking that link or memorizing it.
If you are not logged in under the correct username account then clear your browser cache https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-your-browser-cache and cookies https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-wordpress-com-cookies and then login correctly under the relevant username account.
If the login information has been lost go to

Thank you so very much!!! I know what you mean about the content, but it doesn’t look anything like what I had in the blog. I had many essays with lots and lots of funny pictures. I had stories and different categories. All that is there now is one odd paragraph and some other writing, just a few lines, that I don’t even recognise. I do have my password and user name exactly right. I have also clicked on links of where I have successfully shared parts of my blog with friends in the hope I can get into it via those links but it just goes to a page asking for money. I just don’t know what to do. Thank you so much. It is a complete mystery. xxx

Does anyone else have access to your login information?
Do you have any official users who are Admins?re: hacked accounts and blogs
If anyone is posting anything to your blog or removing anything from it, or changing anything in it, or if your blog has been deleted and you did not delete it, then it’s most likely that you have provided them with the ability to do so, either deliberately by adding them as official users, or by allowing them access to your login information, or by posting content that makes it easy for them to guess what your log-in information is.
For you the question that needs to be answered is: Who, aside from me, has access to my login information?
Go to your email program immediately and change the password to a very difficult one because that’s how many hackers gain access to blogs.

You can also reset your password via your Settings tab on the WordPress.com home page:
http://wordpress.com/#!/settings/Use a secure, encrypted connection to connect to your Dashboard. Under Users → Personal Settings, check the box that says “Always use HTTPS when visiting administration pages, and click Save Changes.
Use two step authentication http://en.support.wordpress.com/security/two-step-authentication/
Run a security scan on your computer. See here to run a security scan http://geekflare.com/online-scan-website-security-vulnerabilities/
Never leave your computer logged into your blog and walk away from it. Always log out properly.
P.S. Staff have records of who did what under which username and login information and when they did it. I flagged this thread with modlook for a Staff follow-up. Please subscribe to it so you are notified when they respond. To subscribe look in the sidebar of this thread, find the subscribe to topics link and click it. Note that there is a backlog and be patient while waiting.

Hi @blogdontjogcom, this site never had a lot of content. Do you have another site with a different URL under another account?
-
This is so confusing. I have sent links to my friends via facebook and some of them commented. There were at least ten essays and maybe a hundred photos. It was definitely blogdontjog and my user name was Lindajane. I still have the password. This is so kind of you. Is it possible someone deleted it? I had a friend through facebook from another country who set it up for me and he would go in remotely and move things around and make it look better. But no one else knew the password.

The first page had a photo of me in a green dress and a gum tree in the back ground. I had lots of categories and some of my friends posted comments. They cannot get into the site now either. I don’t even recognise the paragraph there now.
The person who would do the remote work on it set the whole thing up for me including password. He is so computer savvy. But now I cannot get him to reply to my emails. Thank you for your kind help -
I am in shock. I don’t know any of those people or images. I promise I am not making this up. I can get some of my friends to contact you to prove what I am saying if you like . This is the weirdest thing ever. I am a stupid idiot to not have backed up. I honestly did not know I had to though. I am so sad, my blog was so precious to me. Thank you dear Timethief xxxx
-
May I ask who apart from me, did any work on my blog? That will tell me if the person I mentioned has deleted it I guess. Thankyou x
-
You are the only administrator, so no one else could have deleted anything.
Can you find the facebook posts? I’m guessing the real site has a similar (but different) URL.

As for http://blogdontjog.com — that was never registered or hosted here.
Do you maybe have your own WordPress installation somewhere else?
-
I have spoken to the other person who was doing the editing and stuff for me on what I thought was my wordpress blog and he says he has found it all. I have no idea what is going on but once I get it back I will save it and treasure it. Thank you so much for caring. xx

Oh, and if it turns out you are using a self-hosted installation somewhere but want to be able to use http://blogdontjogcom.wordpress.com/ as well as our support, you can import the site here. Here’s how:
