Deleting a blog and setting up a new website.
-
I have a blog on WordPress that I have never used. I want to delete it, and soon set up a website instead of a blog. Can I do this, and still use the name I had on the old blog? I will want “The Word Painter” as part of my header on the website.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Do not delete the blog! That makes no sense at all. Deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made. http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

blog = website
blog = post based website structure
website = page based website structureA blog is a website and any WordPress blog can be restructured from being post based to being page based, but let’s put that aside for the moment. Please read this entry very carefully > http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
You can use any theme here at WordPress.com to create a page based structure ie. a website rather than a post based structure ie. a blog. http://wordpress.com/themes/
On one hand, none of the characteristic “blog” features like categories, tags, authors, dates, etc. can be removed from a free hosted WordPress.com blog, without purchasing an annually renewable custom design upgrade and doing the required CSS editing.
