  A site is appearing in my list of followed sites in my reader. I have not followed it nor do I wish to. How can I get rid of it? It is gawker.com.

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

  Thank you for your reply but it is not there, that is what is so frustrating, I cannot find anything to click on to get rid of it.

  That’s very strange. When we need Staff help with issues Volunteers cannot resolve like this one we type modlook into the sidebar tags on our forum threads. How do I get a Moderator/Staff reply for my question? https://en.support.wordpress.com/getting-help-in-the-forums/#how-do-i-get-a-moderatorstaff-reply-for-my-question Then we subscribe to this thread so we are notified when they respond. To subscribe look in the sidebar of this thread, find the subscribe to topics link and click it.

  @djdfr another simple way to unfollow a site is to click the three dots in the bottom right corner of a post. You’ll see a “following” notice. Click that to unfollow. I needed to confirm you weren’t having a problem unfollowing using your account, so I’ve done that for you re: gawker. If you need help adding that back in again, just let us know.

  I also did the 3 dot clicking. Unfortunately, the unwanted site is still there. Thank you nevertheless.

  I tagged this thread for Staff help with modlook as I described above.

  Ah, I meant to update you, @djdfr. We found out one of the sites you were following had set up a redirect to gawker. So we removed that for you too. All set. :)
