After initiating the Top Rated Widget, I deleted the "Hello, World" placeholder post from the blog and emptied the trash. However, a link to the post's old url still shows up in the widget. When you click on the link in the widget, you're taken to the old url, resulting in a 404 error. How do i get that post unstuck from the widget?
The blog I need help with is tcplsa.wordpress.com.
The top rated widget goes on a 24-48 hour cycle, so it might be that it will take a day for it to clear and recalculate things. See what happens after 24 hours.
If the post is still stuck on the widget after 72hrs I then recommend submitting a support ticket via this → contact link

I visited the blog linked to your username and observed that you have not deleted the "Hello World" placeholder post in that blog. Here's the URL for that post. http://matthewjadams.wordpress.com/2010/09/20/hello-world/ This causes me to wonder whether or not you were referring to that blog or to a different blog.

@timethief
Thank you. Yes the blog is indeed different. I'm working on http://http://tcplsa.wordpress.com/.
I'll wait an extra 48 without touching it and then move forward.
Thanks, everyone!
