  Someone added me as an author on his blog. Now his blog shows up in my dashboard. I don’t want it there. I want to remove myself completely from his blog.

  How do I do this?

  Thanks.

  You cannot remove yourself. They have to.

  Always check the forum first: this was just a few posts down:

  I must admit, I don’t understand how someone can add another person as an author or whatever on their blog without that person’s permission. Just sayin’

  It’s happened to me several times. And it’s relatively common among penguins, I gather.

  It would make more sense to me if it were a thing that required an invitation from the owner of the blog, and an acceptance from the author they want to add. That way you could reject/ignore invitations you don’t want.

  And then staff wouldn’t have to get in there and delete you.

  And as I mentioned elsewhere, makes sense to also add an option somewhere in a user’s Dashboard to remove themselves from a blog they’ve joined or were added to without having to bug Support about it.
