Who "owns" this blog, anyway?
-
I started this blog with a group of people, and I’ve been tasked with applying for WordAds. The problem is I’m not sure who actually “owns” the blog, except that it isn’t me. Is there a way I can find out which user is the owner without asking everyone to dig into their dashboards? I’m an admin, so I should have access to everything.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

The recommendation is for single Admin though many seem to ignore that. http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administratorHence WordPress.com took steps to prevent the original username account and supposed only Admin of the blog from being removed when the recommendation is ignored.
The only owner of the blog is the person with the username account that registered the blog and who is the Admin of the blog. That is the only person who can apply for WordAds. http://wordads.co/signup/ That is the only person who can purchase upgrades for the blog.
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-visibilityIf you have lost your log-in information you can visit https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword
If required click the “Need More Help” link and complete the form for account recovery. -
Thanks for the quick response, timethief! The multiple Admin thing hasn’t been a problem before, but I can see why it can be. I’ll definitely be talking to the group about downgrading everyone who doesn’t absolutely need it.
I checked to see if I have any hidden blogs, and I don’t. They’re all visible and public, including lanternhollowpress.com. We’ve purchased some upgrades before (like the unique URL), so that might be my answer. Is there any other way to see who the owner is?

The staff should be able to send an email to the owner of the blog using the email address of record for the owner

The username which owns the blog matches the blog’s URL in this case. That user can sign up for WordAds, or transfer ownership following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-user-or-account
