Can you help me undo a mistake?
-
I accidentally changed the content box colour on one page only of my site. Now instead of white, which is easy to read on, that page has only the tartan background, which words are not visible on. How do I get the white back?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
-
Hi there, could you please provide a link to the page or post in question so I can take a look? Thanks!
-
Thanks. I messed it all up even further, deleted the page in question, gave up, and started over under a different account. Now I don’t have the domain name I paid for, but it’s not the end of the world. At least the new blog works. Next year I’ll change the address and redo the domain upgrade.
Thanks again.

Hi Lynn, I’d be glad to move your domain macalisterhistory.com to any of these other sites for you:
http://macalisterhistory2.wordpress.com/
http://macalisterhistory.wordpress.com/
http://macalisterhistory3.wordpress.com/
http://macalisterhistory3.wordpress.com/
http://todayinmacalisterhistory.wordpress.com/Just let me know!

Can you move it to http://macalisterhistory1.wordpress.com/? That is what I’ve got set up now – it is a different account (e-mail address (email visible only to moderators and staff), which I prefer to use anyway) but it is still me. I would prefer to just delete the (email visible only to moderators and staff) account altogether – every time I tried to set up a new blog on that account it replicated the problem – but it won’t let me because there is a domain upgrade attached.
(All of this because I know just enough about coding to cause myself problems. Sigh.)
I don’t know if this is possible; if not, I will just wait until renewal time for the domain name and purchase it through that account then. If it is, though, that would be fantastic.
Thanks for your help.

Hi there, sure I can do that for you.
Would you mind please adding the user macalisterhistory to the macalisterhistory1.wordpress.com site, temporarily?
Just let me know once that’s done and then it’s no problem for me to do the transfer.
I will just wait until renewal time for the domain name and purchase it through that account then.
That won’t be possible, so it’s better we take care of this now. :-)

Both sites are telling me that username already exists. I sent an invite from the (email visible only to moderators and staff) site, but can’t get to the original username to reply.
-
Hi there – I just sent an email to (email visible only to moderators and staff) asking you to confirm the transfer of the domain. Please reply when you get it and we’ll take it from there. Thanks!
-
Thanks so much! That site is working perfectly for me, and with the url, I’m all set for much blogging to come.
Just one more question – is it now possible for me to delete the (email visible only to moderators and staff) account?
You’ve been most helpful and it is greatly appreciated!

Great, glad it’s all working!
The account connected to (email visible only to moderators and staff) (macalisterhistory4) has six sites connected to it. If you won’t ever be using any of those sites, and will never need to reuse their site addresses, you can log into each site’s dashboard and delete the site under Tools > Delete Site. Site deletion is permanent and can’t be undone, and you’ll never be able to reuse the blog address. If you think you may one day want to reuse a site address, you could set the site to private instead.
-
Thanks yet again. I’ve set those addresses to private – never know when I might decide I need one of them.
I’ve already published a new post on the other site that you helped me transfer to, and am very happy with how it’s working out.
You’ve been amazingly helpful.

Excellent – glad everything’s sorted out! Happy blogging and best of luck with your history project. :-)
