How do I remove myself from a course blog?
-
I’m trying to make my blog inactive. I don’t want to be part of the WMST 200: Introduction to Women’s Studies blog that I was required to be a part of for a summer course. I want to remove myself from the entire site but I cannot figure out how to make this possible. I don’t mind having any of my posts deleted. I simply don’t want to have an account on here anymore.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Accounts cannot be deleted here http://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/ but blogs can be deleted http://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/ or made private.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/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.
Here’s how to deactivate your account:
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”:
