  to whom it may concern,

  i recently just created a blog on your site (wordpress.com) from my iphone. it was supposed to read (ashleyintanzania.wordpress.com) but it actually says (ashleyintazania.com). this clearly is a big problem because people looking to find the site will not because the country name is wrong. as this is no ones fault but my own for not checking twice, i still need a solution to this matter. is there anyway i can delete the account and start over, or can the url be fixed?

  please let me know as soon as possible as where i currently am (tanzania) limited internet is available to me.

  thanks

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

  You can actually just create a new blog with the right name. Each account is allowed to have an unlimited number of blogs, so go here: https://wordpress.com/my-blogs/ and create the blog with the right name.

  Then you can go here for info on how to delete the old one: http://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/

  Note: once you delete the old blog no one, including you, will ever be able to use that url. In this case that shouldn’t be a big deal as there is no reason you would want to use a blog with a misspelled name–just be careful to delete the one that is misspelled.

  http://ashleyintanzania.wordpress.com/

  Is just fine

  ashleyintazania.wordpress.com is no longer available.

  The authors have deleted this site.

  Has been deleted and can never be reused –

  Is that what you wanted in the end?
