Why does it seem as though I have TWO websites? I thought I had one

    I have my website, http://www.PatrickMaliha.com (Powered by wordpress). I THOUGHT that I had been updating it for the past while (I am a very infrequent user), but on a whim I recently typed in my website (full on http://www.PatrickMaliha.com) and an outdated/old version came up. NOTHING that I have typed in since Jan. 2013 has been updated. BUT, I have a regular wordpress blog that has been updated. Are these two different things? I had someone at my agency managing my website and they gave me the log-in, etc to update everything on my own, but now it seems as though I have had TWO different sites.

    This would explain why people have mentioned that my website is dead (I thought it was just because I had been making infrequent updates). I’ve tried to figure out how to log into the .com site, but I can’t find anything anywhere to do so.

    I am extremely distressed about this because it does explain why my bookings have slowed down, etc. I couldn’t understand why, when I had actually updated things, etc.

    Is there anyone at WordPress that I could contact via phone? My frustration level is so high right now it is insane and I honestly have no clue how to even begin to approach this on-line (I don’t know if I have two sites, one ghost site, a dead unsearchable site, etc).

    Thank you

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

    The site http://patrickmaliha.com/ is not hosted at WordPress.com, but is instead hosted on another provider (GoDaddy) using the software available at WordPress.org. That means we at WordPress.com do not have any access to your site.

    The site at patrickmaliha.wordpress.com is hosted with us, but despite it also displaying your content, it’s not the same site as patrickmaliha.com. It looks like until a few days ago, you hadn’t posted to that site since 2011 when you exported your content and moved to a self-hosted site.

    If you don’t want your WordPress.com site to be visible, you can log in and update the settings here to make the site private:

    If you’re still confused, please refer to http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ for the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org.
