How do I inactivate my account?
-
I am trying to inactivate my blog/account and have spent about 30 minutes on your site trying to find out the steps to do this and cannot find them anywhere. Can you please provide me with the steps to inactivate my blog. Thank you. I need to know exactly where to go and how to do this.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hello there,
Do you mean: I want to make the blog private?

Provided you are logged in under the Admin 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 here and you can confirm by reading: http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/Although username accounts are not deleted, so you cannot be impersonated and have your reputation affected by anyone registering the same username in the future, there are steps you can take that amount to removing all personal information and result in leaving only a throwaway email address behind. http://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/
1. You can go to My Account->Edit Profile and remove all data except the account name and an email address. Create a throwaway email address and change the account email to that throwaway address. This only leaves the username behind.
2. To unsubscribe from email sent to you from WordPress.com, go here and click on “Block all subscription emails from WordPress.com”:
