How do I either permanently delete a domain or have it auto-redirect?

    I own both http://www.sanjenasathian.com and http://www.blog.sanjenasathian.com. For a while everything was redirecting to blog.sanjenasathian.com, but I moved all my content to sanjenasathian.com. Now, for some reason, I can’t log into the blog.sanjenasathian.com (I get a 403 forbidden error message) to install a redirect. On my main wordpress account, sanjenasathian.com is listed as my primary domain, but blog.sanjenasathian.com doesn’t redirect. When you Google me, you see results from blog.sanjenasathian.com but not sanjenasathian.com at all. I either want to permanently delete blog.sanjenasathian.com or ensure a redirect to my actual site. Can you help?

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

    Hi there,

    I just took a look at your two sites, and it appears that blog.sanjenasathian.com was not hosted here with WordPress.com, is that correct? It looks like it was pointed towards the site sanjenasathian.heroku.com, which is a WordPress.org installation.

    If you’d like, what you can do is log in to your domain registrar’s account and change the CNAME for blog.sanjenasathian.com and point it towards the @ symbol, which will make any requests for blog.sanjenasatian.com pull up sanjenasatian.com, which is where your current blog is. That should allow visitors to find your current blog!
