  Someone stole my blog! I let the domain name lapse and abandoned my blog for a time, and now I’m ready to write again. Yesterday I realized it also exists here: beethovensears.com

  Whoever has it should NOT have access to my content! The person who has my old domain name is located in the Bahamas and the name doesn’t expire until 08/2012. But it appears to be running on WordPress. Can you delete that blog, while leaving beethovensears.wordpress.com?

  Thanks,

  Cindy

  I’m sorry, but the web site that you have reported is no longer hosted at WordPress.com. As such, we are unable to provide any direct assistance in this manner.

  The fact that the site says ‘Powered by WordPress’ (or something similar) simply means it is using the WordPress.org software, which may be downloaded and installed on any web host. Please refer to http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ for the further differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org.

  If you need assistance in determining a web site’s host, we recommend reviewing the following articles:
