    Your username links you around here, not a blog :)

    This seems to have happened to me too!
    I only wanted to deleta *one* of my two blogs on my username and in a way i have as i’ve still been able to use my other blog at wordpress under the same username for nearly 3 months since.

    When i automatically leave links to my blog, such as the one to the left, however, it will tell direct you to a message “This user has elected to delete their account and the content is no longer available.” – this is not true!
    oh what to do? what to do?

    I have the same problem by creating a second blog (I wanted to create a second author but it does not work).
    So I prefer now delete this second blog. But is it possible without deleting also my main blog ?

    @spqr78
    Did you use these instructions for adding a second author?

    http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/05/12/what-are-the-different-roles/

    Deleting blogs now can only be done one at a time on the specific blog itself. This will not effect the main blog but it may be a better idea not to delete the blog at all – unused blogs aren’t a problem.

    Please delete my blog

    Yes, I tried this :
    http://wordpress.com/signup/
    It created me this second blog under the same account. In fact I wanted a second author with her own name (for “Published by ….) and her own avatar.
    I tried to change the e-mail address of the secondary blog but it did not work.

    After being logged out I tried then to create a new user (without blog) with http://wordpress.com/signup/ and a new e-mail address. Then I returned into my blog to declare it as author, but when I typed this new e-mail, I got the answer “unknown user” or something like this.

    I would prefer to delete the second blog because I have now to choose it each time I have to go in my dashboard and because all posts and comments are preceded now by the name of the blog and it is unnecessary.
