  Hi there,

  That site isn’t hosted here from what I see.

  Can you verify that that’s the correct URL?

  Once you’re sure it’s hosted here at WordPress.com, these steps should work for you: https://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/

  Hi Chris,
  I don’t know if it’s hosted or not. I just know that it was set up as a blogging site by someone who I hired for other things. Perhaps he thought he was doing me a favor ….

  I can’t find the site now either, but it is the right URL.

  Hmm, naturalfabricclothing.com doesn’t even appear to be registered.

  I recommend you contact the person who set it up, if possible, as there are no records on our end.

  All blogs are independent websites. What you do on one has NO impact on others. 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 except for the one stated here http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

  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
