Feeling Lost
-
Hey guys, thanks for your previous help, but… I seem to be pretty darn illiterate to navigating this project. Would I be able to delete this page and start from scratch? or is there a person who can walk me through step by step on how to make simple referral page?
Your previous instructions seem like great instructions, I believe I’ve confused myself by starting the process incorrectly.
Should I start over?
-JamesThe blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Deleting a site resolves nothing. Do not assume you can register the same URL again because that’s not possible for 2 years.

Deleted .wordpress.com blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and the only exceptions are made are for URLs that were deleted 2 or more years ago. http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/
You have two options for clearing site content:
(1) Doing this quickly and easily yourself http://en.support.wordpress.com/empty-site/
(2) Waiting in a queue and having Staff do it for you.If you have a lot of content Staff can empty the whole blog for you. That will remove all data including posts, pages, tags, categories, comments, and uploaded files and once deleted, the data cannot be recovered.
If you are sure you want Staff to proceed, post here again to:
(1) confirm the URL of the blog(s) you want them to empty;
(2) confirm that you know content deletion is irreversible;
(3) request a theme reset.Then type modlook into the sidebar tags on this thread for a Staff follow-up.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Deleting blogs and/or blog content does not remove indexed content from the SERPs (search engine page results). Google and Bing only clear their caches of deleted indexed content that produces a 404 (page not found) every 3 – 6 months. To completely remove an entire page from Google search results after it produces a 404 (page not found):
