    I’m trying to access the dashboard but I don’t how to get there. I want to manage my catergories. I can’t see any button leading there.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    You must be logged in under the exact same username account that registered a blog to access it.

    Log out, clear your browser cache https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-your-browser-cache and cookies. https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-wordpress-com-cookies and login under the correct username account.

    The Admin login link to the dashboard for every blog hosted by wordpress.COM is:

    http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/

    * You will have to replace “name_of_blog” with your actual blog’s name in that URL.

    If the log-in information is lost you need to visit https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword

    1. To edit or delete a category assigned to a post (whether it’s a draft or has already been published), go to Dashboard → Posts → All Posts in your dashboard, hover over the title and click the Edit link. To delete the post click the Trash link.

    For editing post in the new editor see https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/#go-back-and-edit-posts

    2. To edit/delete categories in your dashboard go to Dashboard → Posts → Categories

    http://rainbowcardboard.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit-tags.php?taxonomy=category

    3. To edit or delete dynamic category pages from your custom menu go to Dashboard > Appearance > Menus

    http://rainbowcardboard.wordpress.com/wp-admin/nav-menus.php
