The My Blogs page provides a list of all your blogs. From here you can configure options such as Post by Email, as well as whether a blog appears in the My Dashboards and New Post admin bar dropdown.
The My Blogs page can be found under the Dashboard menu:
Selecting this will display a list of all your blogs:
Each blog has various settings that can be configured. Some settings are only revealed when you hover over the blog’s row.
Blog Visibility
Your blogs are displayed in other areas of WordPress. For example, the admin bar at the top of your screen gives you quick access to your blogs.
Likewise the front page of WordPress.com also lists your blogs:
Sometimes you may want to remove a particular blog from these lists, for example when you do not need to access it regularly. Each blog on the My Blogs page has a Dashboard column that displays whether the blog is visible in these dashboard areas or not. Hovering over this column reveals an option to hide or make the blog visible.
Clicking this option will hide the blog from your dashboards or make it visible again.
Note that this option only affects the visibility on your dashboards. It does not affect the dashboards of anyone else, nor does it affect people’s access to the blog.
Blog Order
In addition to dashboard visibility you can control the order in which blogs are displayed on your dashboards. To do this hover over the blog name and you will see some directional links:
Clicking one of these will move that blog further up or down the list. Note that you can only re-order blogs when viewing the ‘All’ filter.
Filters
At the top of the My Blogs page are filters. These allow you to display only visible, hidden, or all blogs. The number of blogs you have of each type is shown next to each filter.
Primary Blog
Your primary blog is what is selected if you login from a blog which you do not have access to. You can change this by clicking one of the buttons in the primary blog column:
Statistics
You can view statistics for each blog by clicking the appropriate stats icon:
Post by Email
Full details on this can be found on the Post by Email page.
Bulk Actions
You can change the visibility and Post by Email address for several blogs at once using the Bulk Actions feature. First you need to check the blogs you want to modify:
From the Bulk Actions dropdown then select the action you want to perform:
Click on the Apply button and the action will be applied to all checked items.
Registering Another Blog
Want to create a new blog? Clicking on the Register Another Blog button will take you to the WordPress blog creation page.
Leaving a Blog
If you are subscribed to a blog, but not the owner, then you can remove the blog from your My Blogs page by leaving it. Move your mouse over the blog you wish to leave and if you are able to do so then you will see a leave link:
Clicking this will take you to a screen where you need to confirm your decision. Upon confirmation the blog will be removed from your list and you will no longer have access to it.
Transferring a Blog
You may decide that you want to completley transfer ownership of a blog (including all upgrades) to another user. You can do this using the transfer blog feature, which is fully explained on the Moving a Blog page.
