My Blogs

The instructions from this guide are referring to the WP Admin dashboard. You can get to this dashboard by adding /wp-admin to the end of your site’s url (e.g.: example.wordpress.com/wp-admin)

The My Blogs section of your Dashboard lists the WordPress.com blogs that you can contribute to and/or edit.

My Blogs

Your blogs are also listed in other areas, such as the toolbar at the top of your screen (when you’re logged in):

Admin Bar Dropdown

And on the WordPress.com homepage on the My Sites page:

My Sites Page

My User Roles

Your user role — Contributor, Author, Editor, or Administrator — determines whether or not you can publish posts and manage a site’s settings. User roles can only be changed by blog Administrators.

My Blogs Dashboard Visibility

If you want to remove a site from appearing on your My Sites page, in the admin bar and under the My Blogs tab of the WordPress.com home page (for example, if you don’t need to access it regularly), you have the option to hide or make the blog visible on your Dashboard.

Go to your blog’s Dashboard and look for the My Blogs option:

My Blogs

Once you click that, simply hover over the text under the Dashboard column and a link will appear:

Dashboard Visibility

Note that this option only affects the visibility on your dashboards. It does not affect the dashboards of anyone else, nor does it affect others’ access to the blog.

Filters

At the top of the My Blogs page are filters. These allow you to view all your blogs, only blogs that are visible on your Dashboard, or only blogs that are hidden on your Dashboard. The number of blogs you have of each type is shown next to each filter:
