  Thanks Erica V. for getting back to me. Most of what you alluded to has already been addressed. Please see below, I underscored what the current problem is, one which no one seems to want to respond to, namely:

  When I click on my blog’s home page, I am unable to access the dashboard. I have to access my dashboard from wordpress.com via the “edit my profile” link.

  In a word, why should I have to log in to WordPress.com in order to access my blog?

  .

  This is a followup…

  Hi Larry,

  I’m very sorry to hear that. You can restore your original content via the Trash folder in your Dashboard -> Posts page. For full instructions, please see:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/trash/#restoring-from-trash

  If you’d like to make your site private, you can do so by changing your privacy settings via your Settings -> Privacy page:

  Please let me know if you have any other questions or if there’s anything else we can do to help.

  Best,

  Erica V.

  You can access http://innergnat.com/ without logging in, but you’ll need to login to access your Dashboard. If we didn’t require that, anyone could modify your blog.
