Log on troubles

I have been having log on problems for the past week or two.

I’ll go to http://www.wordpress.com and enter my username and password in the fields at the top. It never works. I had to go through the ‘lost password’ routine about 4 times. The 3rd time I received my new password, I logged on and changed it to my own password and saved my account changes. I tried logging on again, with my new password and it didn’t work. The last time I did the ‘last password’ routine, even the password they gave me didn’t work.

Just when I was about to attempt to use the ’emergency password reset script’, I received the automatic email that lets you view and approve, trash or spam comments left on your blog. It was spam, so I clicked the spam link and it took me to a log on page. I entered my username, the password I created on my own and it worked like a charm.

I am still unable to log on by going to wordpress.com.

Does anyone know why I can’t just log on like a normal wordpress user?

I shouldn’t have to go to a special link each time. And what if it stops working after a while?

Is this a problem with my account or wordpress?

Is it because I’m using hosting other than wordpress?

I would appreciate any help! 🙂
