  I’ve had a good look on the forums and it appears that I should be able to delete a blog using the link in the Tools section. However, when I log onto the blog I can’t see the ‘delete site’ link under the tools menu (I can only see: Import, Export, Bulk Remove Comments). I’m not sure if i’m doing something daft!

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

  http://in-businessblog.com/ is not hosted by WordPress.COM and neither is http://consumer-psychology.co.uk/ so you are posting to the wrong support forum.

  We provide support only for blogs being hosted WordPress.COM and not for WordPress.ORG software installs. WordPress.com and WordPress.org are completely separate and different http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there and receive advice from WordPress.ORG bloggers.

  I take it I can’t even remove the inbusiness blog link from the ‘myblog’ section when I log into wordpress? Or is that still on the wordpress.org?

  At this time you can’t delete self hosted sites from your account but Staff can. In the future you will be able to delete them yourself. Provided you post the URLs of self hosted blogs you want deleted from your account into a forum thread like this one, Staff can do this for you. Please do that now as I tagged this thread for their assistance. Please subscribe to it so you are notified when they respond.

  Howdy,

  I’ve gone ahead and removed this blog from your WordPress.com account.

  Let us know if you need a hand with anything else!

  Thanks,
