  I changed my site address from perrylife1.wordpress.com to devineenlightenment.wordpress.com. I want to delete the first but will it delete my new one too? I’m afraid that my new one will be gone.

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

  Every blog is an independent website and deleting one has no impact on any other site at all.

  To delete a WordPress.COM hosted blog you must be logged in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog to navigate to Dashboard > Tools > Delete Site.

  The guide is here http://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/

  Deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made.

  Alternatively, to change blog visibility to Private go to > Settings > Reading scroll to Blog Visibility and choose option 3. See the guide here http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings
