    Hi, I launched a new blog to encourage gardeners to allow some wildlife but there are two posts that appeared ON my new blog as soon as it was up, neither by me.

    WP.com: Yes
    Correct account: Yes

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

    Aaarrgh, sorry, sent before finished … two posts ARE mine (Sowing an Idea; No Mow May +).
    But below are two others, Row your Boat; Gently down the stream

    And I didn’t write them, so how do I remove them, please?

    (Also the picture of the photographer in the tiny shot is not mine either.)

    Is this because I used Artbus theme to set the blog up at first?

    Hi there, yes, often when you start a new site (or change themes on an existing site), we will add demo content. I can confirm that is what you see on your blog now.

    To delete those, go to your posts page: https://wordpress.com/posts/

    Once on that page, locate the post you want to delete and look for the “…” icon on the far right. Click on that, and in the menu of choices, you can choose to send it to the trash.

    Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have any more questions.
