  I would like to delete the tscolby blog that I created, because I’m creating another one under tracicolby.com with inmotion and wordpress, and it was just a test run for me.

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

  Hi there,

  I would keep it and use it as a backup for my self hosted site after making it private.

  Every WordPress.COM blog has a sole owner. It is the person with the WordPress.COM username account who registered the blog under that username account and a single associated email address, and who is the original Admin of the blogs registered under that username account.

  You have to be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog’s dashboard and navigate to Tools > Delete site
  http://http://tscolby.wordpress.com/wp-admin/tools.php?page=delete-blog

  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.

  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
