  I want to start a blog that I share with a friend, so that we can both post to it and share links and commentary with one another. I found a name for it that I like, and created an site from my account, which is associated with my specific email address. I already have another site in my wordpress account, associated with my email, that is a private, personal site. After I created the second site, I realized that I would have to give my friend my account name and password which would allow her to log into my account where she could freely view and alter my own personal site, as well. I do not want to share my site with her because it’s very personal. I still want to use the name that I created for our shared site, however. I have another email address that I can use to set up a new wordpress.com account. However, I want to know what will happen if I delete the site from my account. Is the name that I chose for our shared blog permanently unavailable forever for actions associated with my current email address alone, or will it be permanently unavailable for all eternity for ANY email address ever, including the one that I plan to use to recreate it under a different account?

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

  If you delete your site, then yes, that will make the name unusable moving forward. But there’s a solution to your issue. This article shows how to add contributors and this one defines what each role is, depending on how much access you want these contributors to have.

  Hope this helps!

  Hi there.

  I haven’t had a chance to read the links that you posted yet, but, if they say what you say they say, which I believe they will, then you have solved my problem. Completely and utterly. I really appreciate it. Thank you so much.
