  Well, well, it looks like WordPress is on its way to entirely revamp the dashboard, and while facebook had trained us to get used to those frequent changes in the interface ;) , the WP dashboard got a rather radical face-lift which will require a longer period to learn & adapt.

  I haven’t used the new dashboard enough to give my impressions, and am keeping a list of comments, as I go along, to send in the dedicated survey, but in the meantime, for the life of me, I have not been able to locate the Sign Out link.
  If someone could point me in the right place, I’ll send you good thoughts.

  Cheers. ^^

  I can see the sign out link when I hover over the icon in the top right corner. However, yesterday, I had to click the icon to get to another page that listed sign off.

  To answer your question; at present it is necessary to get back to your dashboard and sign out from there. This means from Reader to Mysites (Stats) to dashboard. Yeuch.

  The comments you’ve been collecting would likely be a very useful contribution to the threads/links which follow on from the link above.

  I locate it easily. Go to https://wordpress.com/ and click your Gravatar in then look next to your username in the left sidebar.

  @grahaminhats, thanks for the heads up, there’s always so much going on in here, it’s hard to keep up with everything. I’ll add a comment on the thread you mentioned.

  @timethief, thanks! I see it now (hurray!), it’s on an unexpected page, one I rarely go to, no wonder, haha.

  @grahaminhats, there’s no need to redirect people to the other thread any more. Thanks so much for trying out that other thread idea, but I think I’ll just collect separate threads in a list myself for this issue from now on.

  I tagged this issue with “cannot find sign out” to help me track it.
