I posted earlier today about being shocked when I logged in at WordPress.com, because I got a message stating I’d deleted my blog (which I obviously haven’t; it’s right here!)
Well, I need to alter that story a bit. It’s still saying that the user’s blog has been deleted whenever I login. However, I just noticed the reason: whenever I log in, it’s bouncing me to the blog URL I got when I first signed up with my current username (vielegedanken). I did indeed delete that blog. Question is, why is WordPress.com all of a sudden bouncing me over to that ancient URL when I log in? It never did that before. Before, it’d log me in, then reload the front WP.com page with a link to my blog, along with the WP.com control panel at the top.
Odd. Feedback ticket submitted.
Update: Podz from the WP.com help forums contacted me. It’s a weird bug they’re experiencing right now, and they’re working on it.

I’d be interested to find out of this is the same bug that’s affecting my login. I have two wordpress blogs, and when I sign in sometimes I can see them both (multiple dashboards etc.) and sometimes not (only the dashboard for my first blog). It’s odd – there’s no reason or consistency, so I sign out if I can only access one of the blogs, or just click on a different site and go back, and then it’s back to showing both on my account.

Weird, Heather. That sounds at least related to the bug I’m experiencing. For me anyway, this jus started a few days ago. Before that I’d never had anything similar happen.

[...] Whatever was causing me to be bounced to a blog I’d deleted when logging in at WP.com seems to have been fixed. Whenever I login now, I’m sent to the System 13 dashboard. [...]
