  One of the Freshly Pressed posts today is a great piece about how the author’s Dad could beat up movie Dads. The thing is, the blog doesn’t appear to be a WordPress blog. How does that end up even on WordPress, let alone FP?

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

  I located the post in question. It’s on a free blog that is being free hosted by WordPress.com.

  They have the same host as you do.

  That blog is using domain mapping to a custom domain they own.

  This is the blog post > http://tdylf.com/2011/06/15/movie-dads-who-my-dad-could-beat-up/

  I located the blog in question and verified that.
  (1) When logged in to wordpress.om there is a gray navigation at the top of the blog indicating it is hosted by WordPress.com;

  (2) When examining the footer of the theme on the blog we find this: “Blog at WordPress.com.http://wordpress.com· Theme: Pilcrow by Automattic Fonts on this blog”
  This also indicates the blog is hosted by WordPress.com
