Why am I being forced to add a blog to my account?
-
Have you tried closing your browser and/or dumping your cache and doing a restart? This worked last night after they were done working on the site.

I don’t want to go premium, I don’t want another blog, and I don’t want to register my cell phone, if I even had one. Can we stop this please?

Hey, I just realized a new toolbar has appeared, and I can click on “My Blog” and get around this WordPress promotional nonsense. Stupid that we have to do that, but check it out, just click on “My Blog.”

It’ll be over in a couple of hours…hopefully…it didn’t last too long yesterday anyway… :|

Yes, last evening there were shifts of what did function and what did not. It was rather fun trying to find alternative ways to get where one wanted to go, a test of WP functionality memory :)
It’s more fuNNerer if one is having fun!?

I’m confused. Do they really want everyone creating a new blank blog every day in order to get to their pages?
-
Why aren’t any WordPress staff addressing this? If it’s just a bug, then fair enough, these things happen, but if this is some stupid strong-arm marketing technique, then it’s obnoxious and a great way to lose users in droves. I would expect re-directs like this from a malware attack, but not a blogging site I’ve used without issue for three years.
Given that no WP staff seem to be weighing in on the topic, I’m concerned this may be the first, familiar sign of yet another good website being ruined by greed.

I’m going through everything that everyone has already described, but I do not see a new toolbar or a “my blog” option to get around this nonsense. I had to access my reader/stats through an external link. Someone needs to address this NOW. (If this is someone’s marketing idea, then guess what? FAIL).

I’m continuing to have the same problem for the past two days. I found that going to the drop menu for your profile and getting to the manage your blog page can get you to the reader. But still even when I type in wordpress.com to go the the site’s main page it redirects me to the create a blog page.

msraytarot–this worked for me using my Firefox browser. Perhaps it doesn’t work with Internet Explorer or other browsers. But the bottom line is, this is ridiculous! Why are we longtime wordpress bloggers being subjected to this? Why are you not answering our questions?
-
Geesh! I’m having the same issue! It was so irritating at first, then I found this club of bloggers who I can relate to. Now I don’t feel so crappy. But I am very dissapointed at WordPress for not saying a word about this for the pass few days. HOW RUDE!!!!

this is happening to me as well, and it is HORRIBLY annoying. I cannot get to my reader on my laptop so I’m forced to use my phone. FIX THIS WORDPRESS.

I am having the same trouble. It is rather annoying to be constantly redirected to a page I have no interest in. I have found that by clicking on the wordpress on the top left corner a couple of times eventually I can get to my reader. I hope this is not a new marketing technique by WP.Seems amazing that no one from the site has bothered to address any of the concerns over this.

Same problem here on my laptop. Not having any problem when I went to use another computer though. Weird.

Having the same problem as everyone else.
One of my close allies, with their own blog, is not.Yes, it is annoying as hell, but I wouldn’t mind as much if they would just insert a bypass button to reject the offer to add an additional blog and return to the normal stats page (yes, you can use the Dashboard to get to the stats, but it does not break down by country of origin or differentiate the number of hits from the number of unique viewers.
And I am especially disappointed in the lack of an official response (or at least assurance they are fixing it) from WordPress.
After more than three years and 50,000 hits, I have been very satisfied with WordPress and my trust is shaken for the first time.
