  I have messed my new blog up miserably and would like to delete the blog I started making and start over again. I have purchased a domain name. What should I do to insure that I will have my domain name linked to a new blog of the same name as the one that I would like to delete.? My domain name is adkdelta.com

  Thanks,
  Blog url: http://adkdelta.wordpress.com/

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

  If you delete the blog, you won’t be able to get it back.

  Instead, would you like me to empty it out?

  Would that mean I could start again and still use my purchased domain name? If so, I would very much like that. My problem appears to be the fact that I have deleted my Blog name and a partial page of basically “nothing” shows when I access the blog at http://www.adkdelta.com

  Thanks,
  Ann

  Oh, that’s easily fixable, and emptying the blog won’t fix it.

  On the main page, you’ll see that error until you either publish a Post or assign a different front page: http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/

  Your blog’s title can be set via Settings -> General in your blog’s Dashboard.
