  I have a blog here that I created in 2005 and never did anything with: http://lynn.wordpress.com, now I would like to use it but it does not show up under my account. I just made a comment on the blog and it picked it up along with my image I just uploaded today.

  Is there any way I can get access to this old blog and be able to write posts, change the theme, etc?

  I have tried to register this name like I was creating this blog again yet nothing happens it just brings me back to the registration page and asks me to create a new blog. (no error message or anything)

  Thanks for any advice.
  Lynn

  The account you are posting here only goes back to January 2007 so it looks like you created the lynn blog using a different email and account.

  If you can remember your old account you can log-in that way. If not you will need to log out of WordPress.com and visit lynn and use the lost password function and try and retrieve your old log in and blog. Once you have been able to log into the lynn blog that blog can be transferred to your current account.

  Important note – everything here goes back to email addresses, if you don’t have access to you old email things will be difficult and require the help of the staff.
