  Hi have a two-fold issue: I wish to delete a secondary blog named “after21” since it is empty yet it still appears under “Manage My Blogs”. Can you help?

  Secondly, I have the domain rights to “after21.ca” and have just paid $13 to have my primary wordpress blog (michaelleclair.wordpress.com) changed to michaelleclair.after21.ca

  Can you please tell me if and when this will take effect? Thank you.

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

  I am seeing after21.ca point correctly to your WordPress.com site.

  It can take 24-48 hours for domain/DNS changes to propagate throughout the internet. It typically happens faster than that, but it really depends on your ISPs update frequency. If you are still not seeing the correct site appear after 48 hours has elapsed, please contact me again.

  I noticed that after21.ca was not set as your WordPress.com site’s primary domain. I have switched that for you and the URL should now display correctly. For future reference, you can change or update your primary domain by logging into your WordPress.com site’s dashboard and going to Store–>Domains.

  I’m not sure that I understand. Is this s self-hosted jetpack connected blog that you would like removed from your “my blogs” list?

  Please let me know if you have further questions or if anything is unclear.

  Thanks very much for your help with this – after21.ca is now displaying correctly. Thanks again!

  My other question has to do with a secondary blog I set up a few years ago but which I don’t use – and when clicked on, simply comes back with an error message (404: File not found). Confusingly, it also happens to be titled AFTER21. Not a big deal, but I just want to completely delete it but don’t know how. If you help, that would be great. Thanks again!
