  I want to rename one of my blogs FROM laurahfreeman1 TO laurahfreeman, and delete the blog I have which is currently set up as laurahfreeman.

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

  Hi, laurahfreeman. Don’t delete the blog. Once a blog is deleted, it’s gone for good and the url can’t be recovered! You would lose laurahfreeman.wordpress.com.

  You can do what you need by following these steps:

  1. If you were getting rid of all the content currently at laurahfreeman, then you would empty that site: Empty Site
  (but I see you have no content up there, so not a big deal for you)

  2. Export a backup of your laurahfreeman1 content, and then import that content into the laurahfreeman blog: Import

  3. Make the laurahfreeman1 site private so nobody can access it, but you can leave it there as a backup of your original content if you want: Privacy Settings
