 * Hi, my first post here although I’ve had a self-hosted WP blog for quite awhile
   now. First, I do know that WP.org and WP.com are two separate things.
 * Here’s the order of things as best I can remember. I need to know what is safe
   to get rid of because it’s become a jumbled mess.
 * -Got my blog a year ago, WP self-hosted.
    -Got the WP iPhone app. -Got a Gravatar.-
   I think the mess started between the app and Gravatar. -Signed up with WP.com
   because of issue with app or maybe when I signed up with Gravatar. -Have had 
   repeated issues with WP app (have deleted/reinstalled multiple times due to “
   errors”) which resulted in being blacklisted by Jetpack Protect. Can’t post, 
   but can receive and reply to comments.
 * I guess it comes down to this. Since I use WP.org to sign into my blog, is it
   safe to delete the WP.com account or does that affect the Gravatar and/or phone
   app?
 * I know this is a hot mess of a post, but I need some guidance.
 * Thanks in advance for any info.

 * You need your wordpress.com account as a home for your gravatar. I don’t think
   deleting your wordpress.com account will help with the other problems.

 * Thanks for the reply, lorro. Just knowing that the wordpress.com and gravatar
   are linked is a big help.
