  Hi there. If you don’t want the blog to be “online” anymore, you can simply set it to private. That way no one but you will be able to access it: http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/

  You can create an xml export file which you can use to import your posts to another blog, but the export file only contains your text and links to images in your media library, so if you delete the source blog there won’t be any images to import: http://en.support.wordpress.com/export/

  The other option is to manually copy each post into Word before deleting, or you can try a service that uses the xml export file or your RSS feed to create a PDF file of your entire blog. There are free and paid services that does this. See this thread for several options: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/i-would-like-to-print-my-blog-into-a-book?replies=12
