  My website, nicolejacobsmeyer.com is not showing up in google. But my old wordpress site is. Is there any way to delete the old one or hide it to only have the nicolejacobsmeyer.com one shown?

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

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

  Hello, I’m sorry to hear that you are having trouble with your website. However, your site is not hosted with WordPress.com. It is a site using the open-source WordPress software (from WordPress.org) but hosted with Bluehost.

  To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities: https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/

  WordPress.org has complete documentation for self-hosted/installed versions of WordPress.org at https://wordpress.org/support/ and support at https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

  As for your WordPress.com site, if you’d like to delete it, you can by following the steps at https://wordpress.com/support/delete-site/

  When I log in though it says my embracingchaos5.wordpress site is primary and cannot be hidden. When I go to delete it, it says “all other sites” will be deleted as well, but does that mean my nicolejacobsmeyer one will be as well?

  If you follow the steps specifically at https://wordpress.com/support/delete-site/ it will only delete the desired site.

  If you want to just change your primary site, you can do that at https://wordpress.com/me/account
