  Hey there!

  No problem. You can either delete the post, or revert it back to draft status, so it won’t appear.

  Here’s how:

  1. To delete, go to your list of Posts here:
     https://bobschless.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=post

     Hover your cursor over the blog post title and click Delete. This will take the post offline and send it to your Trash folder.

  2. To revert it to a draft so it won’t appear online, go to your list of Posts. Hover over the title of the post and click Quick Edit. Where you see Status Published, you will adjust this to Draft. Then, click Update to save.

  I hope this helps! If you have any other concerns, drop me a note. Thanks much!

  I went to edit and moved it to trash. Now I can’t find it in my trash folder.
