  Hi,

  Just tried to change the URL of a different blog and the site disappeared/I cannot log in. I was changing http://www.defye.com/wordpress/ to just “http://defye.com”. I can see that the content of the site is preserved at the original URL, but I cannot log in to fix this.

  Help?

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

  Um, please ignore the “blog I need help with” blurb there, that is not the blog I need help with.

  That blog is a self-hosted WordPress.org blog, which we really can’t help with.

  To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities.

  WordPress.org has complete support and documentation sites for self-hosted/installed versions of WordPress via their Codex and Support Forums.

  Everything I did on the site I did through the WordPress.com dashboard, though. Does that still make it a WordPress.org blog?

  (I’m sorry for my newbie questions, by the way)

  http://www.defye.com/wordpress/ is not a WordPress.com blog.

  http://crepusculae.wordpress.com/ is a WordPress.com blog, but http://www.defye.com/wordpress/ is a self-hosted WordPress.org blog.
