  I want to temporarily close the entire account, or at least close the wlupusborealispaleonate account. I have two – one is called wandalo, one is called wlupusborealis. I want to get rid of the wlupusborealis one entirely, especially where it shows up on my Log-In page. If this isn’t possible, let me know how I can close the entire account. Thanks

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

  Do you have two blogs registered under the same WordPress.COM username account?

  If you do then there is a way to disassociate them.

  Each username account has a single email address associated with it, a single gravatar and only one primary blog can be linked to the username. If you want to have two username accounts and one blog registered under each one you can do that.

  You log out and then register another username account under a different email address. Then you transfer one of the blog to it.

  All blogs are independent websites so what you do one one has no affects on any others. To delete a free hosted WordPress.COM blog you must be logged in under the exact same username account that registered the blog.

  To prevent accidental or inadvertent deletion of blogs, there are multiple warnings given that blog deletion is permanent and irreversible.

  Lastly, a verification link is sent in an email and must be clicked to delete a blog. If clicking that link does not work then copy and paste it into your upper browser window and click. Once clicked the URL is gone forever.

  Provided you are logged in as the Admin under the exact same username account you can delete any blog registered under that username by using these instructions. http://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/

  Deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made.

  Alternatively, to change blog visibility to private go to > Settings > Reading scroll to Blog Visibility and choose option 3 . See the guide here http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/
