  Support has sent me a link which advises me to login to my site’s admin using url example.com/wp-admin. So far so good.

  Instructions then direct me to “Open the My Blogs page.” Trouble is, this takes me to another login page for which I no longer have the email or password.

  Is there any way to go from admin dashboard to the main account?

  (I don’t seem to be able to post screenshots here).

  What is the URL of the site you’re trying to access?

  Note: I am able to login using …/wp-admin but that does not allow me to move the site to same account as fallinguptograce.com which is main objective for now. thanks

  Ok, http://faultlinepress.com/ is a self-hosted WordPress.org site.

  To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities: http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  To add that site to your WordPress.com account, you’ll need to use the Jetpack plugin: https://jetpack.com/support/getting-started-with-jetpack/

  Thanks Macmanx.

  If faultlinepress is a wordpress.org site, then please would you confirm that fallinguptograce.com is also a wordpress.org site?

  http://fallinguptograce.com/ is also a self-hosted WordPress.org site.

  So, to have them under the same WordPress.com account, just connect the Jetpack plugin to the same WordPress.com account. :)

  Thanks again Macmanx.

  I’m considering merging both sites into one and paying for hosting on wordpress, which I think would involve switching from .org to .com?

  Yes, if you want to just move your sites here, follow this guide: https://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-from-self-hosted-wordpress-to-wordpress-com/

  But make sure you’re aware of the differences first: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  great, I’ll follow the guide.

  one slight point of confusion is how come the websites are both wordpress.org but one of them appears under a wordpress.com account? screenshot here.

  ah, thank you! now finally starting to make sense. I think I set that up years ago when trying to determine whether to go with .org or .com and forgot to delete unused.
