Created secondary blog in error – need to delete without affecting primary blog
-
I wanted to create a second completely fresh blog, totally unrelated to my primary blog which is http://www.castelsarrasin.wordpress.com which I use regularly and wish to continue using.
I used the option to create another blog – this one was called Grumpy Old Woman and I wanted it to have a completely different identity and be totally unrelatable and unidentifiable to my primary blog. Having filled in the screen I now understand that Grumpy Old Woman is a secondary blog, and has my gravatar image on it and probably the same blog address etc. How can I delete Grumpy Old Woman so that I can use the blog name again. I don’t want http://www.castelsarrasin to be affected in any way and don’t want the two blogs linked together in any way.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
-
The two blogs will be linked in that they are both attached to your account. You would have to set up new WordPress and Gravatar accounts with another e-mail address to have absolutely no strings attached.
To delete that blog name and attach it to another account would require a special request to staff. -
DON’T DELETE ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do it yourself – maybe 5 minutes including creating a new account
Create your new identity / account with a different email
Then transfer the new blog to the new account
Dashboard >> My Blogs >> Mouse over the new blog and click on Transfer – follow the instructions – spell the account correct the blog is going to – or you will need staff help to retrieve the blog

Thanks both of you. I’d started off right then, (new email account) I just shouldn’t have used that method of creating the new blog whilst still on the original account. Many thanks.

can I attach the new blog to any email?
(I don’t need it attached to the original email i started the blog on (root blog) but I have another existing one I would like to use. -
@anasuarez1 I assume you are @coypu and this is your new account? If so, do you want me to transfer the ‘grumpy old woman’ blog to this account?
-
@anasuarez1 is not me Kardotim. I don’t know where that post came from. I’ve solved my particular problem now by renaming the secondary blog, and I’ll transfer a page from the primary account to that one. So I’ll start a completely separate blog from scratch with a different email address for the ‘grumpy old woman’ issue. I assume that if I do that whilst not logged into the @coypu and I use a different name to @coypu there will be no links between the two?

In that case I’ll ignore coypu’s post.
So I’ll start a completely separate blog from scratch with a different email address for the ‘grumpy old woman’ issue.
Once you’re all set, feel free to reply back in this thread with the new user account and I’ll transfer the blog for you.
