  I no longer want to be a co-author of a blog and frankly, no longer want my wordpress account to be associated with it in any way. Help?

  You can leave a blog that you were invited to post on by going to your Dashboard under “My Blogs” (not on the WordPress.com front page) and hovering your cursor over the link to the site in question. You should see a link appear “Leave blog.” Click on that to remove yourself from that site. See here:

  However, removing yourself from a site does not delete any posts you authored on that site and your username will still appear there if the author is shown, or on any comments you have made while logged in with the associated account.

  In other words, you may want to start fresh with another username. If you go that route, you’ll want to follow these instructions posted by timethief, another forum volunteer: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/cancellation-7?replies=2#post-1063805
