Where did my blog go?
-
Hi friends-
A few years back I opened an account and started a blog, but never really used it. Now, I found my credentials and logged back into my account, but can’t find my blog. When I try to re-create it, it says that the site (orchardcounseling.wordpress.com) already exists, but it’s private, so I can’t see or use it. I’m 99.99% positive this is my blog (it’s my username, after all), but I can’t get to it. Any suggestions? -

You must be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog’s dashboard.
Clicking this link should display all your blogs registered under the same username, including the hidden ones: https://dashboard.wordpress.com/wp-admin/index.php?page=my-blogs&show=hidden
If you do not see the blog here http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/ then
follow this guide > http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/#my-blogs-dashboard-visibility -
That’s very helpful, thank you.
Truth be told, I learned a lot about wordpress from that response, but it didn’t solve my problem.
Here’s the thing–I’m really quite sure I’m the person who registered the blog name (orchardcounseling.wordpress.com) but it’s not listed among my blogs at all–not private, etc. I clicked on the button to have the owner notified that I’d like to join the private blog, and I expected to get an email, but I didn’t get one.
This suggests that someone else owns the blog, or that I own it, but under some other user account with some defunct email account.
Is there some way to see who owns a private blog? If I could see for sure that someone who’s not me owns it, I’d just drop it, but I suspect that it’s just out there on a server somewhere not being used.
Anyway, I feel like a dork, but I don’t want to let it go until I’m sure there’s no way for me to recover that name.
Thanks in advance for any guidance.

No there isn’t. If you have lost your log-in information you can visit https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword Then you can check everyone of your email accounts to see where the email is sent to.
Your last resort for obtaining access is to complete the form for account recovery at this link https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery with as much information as possible and submit it to the Account Recovery Staff so they can contact you by email ie. not on these public support forums which are available to everyone with internet access.
