  I cannot see the tools menu for exporting the blog. My account is set up as an admin. The three sections on my dashboard are Publish, Personalize and Configure. The theme is ocean mist. How do I get to the export tools?

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

  Every WordPress.COM blog has a sole owner. It is the person with the WordPress.COM username account who registered the blog under that username account and a single associated email address, and who is the original Admin of the blogs registered under that username account.

  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 to navigate to Tools > Export

  If you did not register the blog under your username account then you may need to contact the actual owner of the blog.

  Thanks for the quick response!

  So not really helpful to be an admin unless you are an owner. :) Thanks for the support. I’ve contacted the account owner.
