  Hey!
  This is the first site that shows up when I google myself. Since it isn’t my primary site, I’d like to make it inactive without deleting it.

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

  To change blog visibility to Private go to Dashboard > Settings > Reading scroll to Site Visibility and choose option 3

  NOTE: Making a blog private, deleting blog content and deleting blogs does not remove any indexed content from the SERPs (search engine page results). Google and Bing only clear their caches of deleted indexed content that produces a 404 (page not found) every 3 – 6 months. To completely remove an entire page from Google search results: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/1663419?hl=en

  Disassociate blogs
  Every blog has a sole owner and it is the person with the username account who registered the blog under that username account and associated email addres. No matter how many blogs are created under any username account there will be only one gravatar and one primary blog that can be linked to that username.

  In order to completely disassociate blogs currently registered under the same username account and associated email address proceed as follows.

  Log out of WordPress.com and clear your browser cache and cookies.

  Without logging in to WordPress.com, register another username account under different email address.

  To transfer a blog from one username account A to another username account B you must first log in under the username account A that owns the blog you want to transfer to the other username account.

  Then you add the other username account B as an Admin of the blog.

  Then you A can use this process to transfer the blog to that username account B instead http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-user-or-account
