  I tried to set up a blog but it wouldn’t publish my first post. It just kept saving…saving…saving…saving…etc. so then I tried to delete the entire account so I could redo everything, but I can’t find out how to delete my entire profile, blog, account…etc. EVERYTHING. I don’t want WordPress to have any record of my email or account information or anything so I can then sign up again as a new account. That is, unless you guys can help me get my blog that I want, which is luxuryhomeslist.wordpress.com and I want to be able to publish my first post with a photo. Can you help me do this????

  Thanks

  luxuryhomeslist.wordpress.com is no longer available.
  The authors have deleted this blog.

  I’m sorry but that’s not possible. Note there are 3 warnings and a verification link in an email required to delete a blog. That is because deleted blog URLs are not recycled.

  Although username accounts are not deleted, so you cannot be impersonated and have your reputation affected by anyone registering the same username in the future, there are steps you can take that amount to removing all personal information and result in leaving only a throwaway email address behind. http://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/

  1. You can go to My Account->Edit Profile and remove all data except the account name and an email address. Create a throwaway email address and change the account email to that throwaway address. This only leaves the username behind.

  2. To unsubscribe from email sent to you from WordPress.com, go here and click on “Block all subscription emails from WordPress.com”:

  3. To ensure the account is locked up tightly, visit this site, generate a password of 15-20 characters, and change the account password to it:

  4. While you cannot completely delete your Gravatar profile, you can remove all of your profile information easily through the “Edit My Profile” page here:
  http://en.gravatar.com/profiles/edit/?noclose#about-you

  You can also hide your Gravatar profile from external access. Visit your profile page (click your name in the top navigation of the website), then click the “Hide My Profile” link in the bottom, right-hand corner.
