  Hi,

  I’m currently having troubles logging in on my weblog; http://www.arnegillis.com, which is hosted by WordPress.
  The site is still available online, but when I go to http://www.wordpress.com to login, it says “You don’t have a WordPress site yet”.

  Anybody could help me out?
  Thanks in advance,
  Arne G.

  The Admin login link is http://arnegillis.com/wp-admin/ Know that the “www” is unnecessary and redunadant.

  The Admin login link for every blog hosted by wordpress.COM is:
  http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/

  Every WordPress.COM blog has a sole owner. It is the person with the WordPress.COM username account who registered the blog under that username account and a single associated email address, and who is the original Admin of the blogs registered under that username account.

  You have to 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 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

  If the log-in information is lost visit https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword

  If you are not successful gaining access to the blog then please complete the form for account recovery at this link https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery 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.

  Note: The software will continue to strip out the redunant and unnecessary www.

  Be aware that www is an old protocol from way back when the web was new and everything was under separate server hardware. www (www.example.com) was the web server, mail (mail.example.com) was the mail server, ftp (ftp.example.com) was the FTP server, print (print.example.com) was the print server, etc.

  These days, everything is run under the web server, making www. redundant and a waste of four characters.
