How Do I Fully Hide a blog without deleting it?
-
I just left a comment on a post here and out of curiosity I clicked on my user name. It took me to the blog I am not using rather than the one I am somewhat active on at this time and would rather people see. Short of deleting it (in case I do ever want to use it) I cannot figure out how to totally hide that thing. I clicked “Hide” for the Dashboard, but somehow I had put a header on it, when I desired to have it on my other blog. It has been causing me no end to trouble as I am trying to learn how to use WordPress.
Can any one please show me how to change what blog link comes up when I post comments and how to avoid making changes to the wrong blog?
If this helps, the blog I do not want on my profile is: http://chillybean.wordpress.com/
The one I do is: http://birdingbunch.wordpress.com/Thank you so much for any help you can give.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

This is not retroactive so where you have commented before that link will not change. You can change the blog linked to your username by following these instructions. Linking your wordpress.COM blog to your wordpress.COM username > Dashboard -> Users -> Personal Settings -> then scroll down to Account Details. Then scroll down to where it says ‘Website‘ select the URL for your wordpress.com blog and then save changes.
If you wish you can make the blog visibility of the blog in question private.

You don’t have to delete your blog, just change which blog your username links to.
2. How to make your name link to your blog:
Go into your dashboard -> Users -> Personal Settings -> then scroll down to ‘Account Details’. In the spot where it says ‘website’ fill in the address of your blog and save the changes.
Now… when you comment here and on other blogs, your name will link to your blog. If you do this before you post your request for help, it will allow forum volunteers to be able to help you quicker since they won’t have to ask you for a link and wait until you come back to post one.from this link: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/7-things-to-know-before-posting-in-wordpresscom-forums?replies=1

You’re welcome. Are you also ware that you can change your display name? http://en.support.wordpress.com/change-your-username/#change-display-name-nickname

I see that, but it is strange. It shows I have typed in “The Birding Bunch” for my display name, but my comments still show chillybean. I prefer the Birding Bunch because that is my blog name. Does this only display in certain areas?

Here in the forums you username will not change when you set up a nickname or display name. It’s also not retroactive so any comments you have previously made with not reflect it.
