    We have an old WordPress blog site that we would like to have removed. This is the address: https://paloaltoartcenter.wordpress.com/. It was created by someone no longer here long ago. Might be nice to keep the same web address, however. Can you help me?
    Many thanks.

    Companies, groups and organizations do not own blogs. Every WordPress.COM blog has a sole owner and it is the person with the WordPress.COM username account who registered the blog under that username account and their associated email address.

    The blog’s owner must be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog and purchased upgrades to renew them or transfer the blogs and the upgrades to another username account or to use the lost password link or account recovery form, or to delete site content or to delete the site itself.

    Staff cannot do this for you. Contact the blog’s actual owner directly please and they can use this process to transfer the blog to another username account
