Where the *$%) is the dashboard for a wp.com-hosted blog???
-
The information on this page (http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/) is outdated. I am trying to migrate a WordPress.com hosted site to a self-hosted site, but I can not get to a dashboard that looks like the ones in these screenshots. All I get is a very generic screen that only lets me post, change the theme, etc. YES, I am an admin. I run over a dozen self-hosted websites, I’m intimately familiar with self-hosted WordPress. I just can’t find the dashboard for this stupid WordPress-hosted blog.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Additional information:
When I go to booneweeklynews.wordpress.com/wp-admin, it takes me to this worthless page instead of a real dashboard:
However, the instructions at the link I previously posted, as well as the instructions here seem to indicate that in order to transfer the blog, I need to get to the dashboard.
How do I get to the “real” dashboard? I build websites all the time, I do NOT need to pay the helfulness fairies or whatever to migrate this blog. I’m more than capable of doing it myself… if I can just find the flipping export tool.

Nope. I am logged in, I click on that link, and it only takes me here again: http://www.evernote.com/shard/s12/sh/bb726f8b-70c7-42d2-b311-b3935086bd33/129bb67750bede630b35f45d082cb283
I have clicked on every single link I can find on that page, and none of them give me the export options.

Okay, well this is fun… I tried going to that link on Firefox (I’ve been using Chrome up to this point), and it took me to the real dashboard just fine. WTF?
-
I don’t know. I’m a volunteer so have no access to behind the scenes stuff. Also I usually use FireFox so cannot explain what’s up with Chrome. But at least now you can move forward: export the blog and all…

Yes, staff have been “improving” things lately with the dashboard and, as we feared, seem to be trying to do away with the dashboard entirely. Good to know it works in Firefox; there are a LOT of people complaining about this, for obvious reasons.

I’m SO glad to know it wasn’t just me doing something stupid. I was literally ready to throw my computer across the room this morning…
