  I keep getting the message to confirm my e-mail address… I recieve the e-mail and click the link, and it says I’m confirmed (and I can log into Askimet, etc) — but as soon as I refresh the page, it asks me again to confirm my e-mail address.

  Am I doing something wrong?

  You are posting to the wrong support forum.

  We provide support only for wordpress.COM hosted sites. Our support docs do not apply to
  (1) local installs of wordpress.ORG software on your own server or
  (2) wordpress.ORG software installs on paid hosting, and we do not provide support for them at wordpress.COM.

  Also, note that we do not provide Jetpack support https://jetpack.me/support/ for sites linked to wordpress.COM accounts with the Jetpack plugin so they display on the My Sites wordpress.com account page.

  Some Jetpack solutions are here http://jetpack.me/support/

  Others are in the Jetpack support forum at WordPress.org
  http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/jetpack

  However, if help cannot be found at either one then they can file a Jetpack support ticket here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/?jetpack=needs-service

  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  As you are referring to a site that is not hosted here, if you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG account, then click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right-hand corner of the page that opens, https://wordpress.org/support/register.php so you can post to the support forums there.

  WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page

  Thanks for the feedback and clarification – I was confused, as my locally hosted blog is linked here on wordpress.com, but maybe that’s just an artifact of the jetpack plugin?

  The error message is a part of my wordpress.com account though – it looked like the premium plan allows for backups of my local installation, as it seems to mirror stats and my configuration, but if not, than I don’t even need to worry about the error message.

  Thanks!
