  Hello, I am jonpope1972. I am very, very new to this world and have a few questions: 1. I think I may have set up 2 blogs. The other one one may be jonpope2013. I want to get rid of it. How do I do it? Also, I want to view how my blog looks to others. I cannot seem to find all the stuff I customized. Where is that at?

  Jon

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

  This is the active blog URL http://jonpope2013.wordpress.com/
  Deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/
  You may want to make it private instead and use it as a backup or testing blog. http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/

  You must be logged in under the exact same username account that registered the blog. Deleting a site permanently removes it and you’ll never be able to reuse its WordPress.com address. If you delete a blog you will not be able to get it back and no one else will be able to use that blog address. You must be sure you never want to use the blog again if you delete it.

  To prevent accidental or inadvertent deletion of blogs, there are multiple warnings given that blog deletion is permanent. Lastly, a verification link is sent in an email and must be clicked to delete a blog. http://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/

  Do understand that no changes you try out aside from those such as Custom Background
  Custom Header which are stated on the theme description pages in the features column (right hand side) for each theme like http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/skeptical/
  will be visible to visitors unless you purchase an annually renewable custom design upgrade.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/editing-css/

  You do not need to load the design tools unless you have the Custom Design upgrade. All of these functions can be accessed from your dashboard – without loading the custom design tools – no upgrade required.
  Appearance > Header
  Appearance > Background
  Appearance > Theme Options (applicable only to some themes)
  Settings > Reading (set a static front page)
  Site Title and Tagline > Settings > General

  If you are using the preview mode for the Custom Design upgrade some of the settings in that mode will save but they won’t show up on the front end unless you purchase the upgrade.

  To go back to the free options, go to Appearance → Themes → Customize → Colors and click the “exit the preview” link in yellow at the top of the panel on the right.

  @gamenology1
  Thank you, in advance, for not tailgating
  threads I already have posted correct answers into. Every day we have those who do not comprehend that blog URL deletion is permanent here.
