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 profile (by clicking on the profile picture on the top right) and click Manage Blogs on the left side.

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

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. Also, note that we can’t hide the primary site. The primary site can be changed from the Account Settings page before it can be hidden.

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:
