  For the sake of privacy, I want to remove my wordpress blog site off google search engine. If there’s anyway I can delete it or change the sites name, I would like that. I still don’t want it to show up on google search.

  The blog I need help with is interactivecommunity.wordpress.com.

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

  To change blog visibility to Private go to Dashboard > Settings > Reading scroll down to Blog Visibility and choose option 3. See the guide here http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings

  IMPORTANT NOTE: Deleting blogs and or content or making it private content does not remove any indexed content from the SERPs (search engine page results). Google and Bing only clear their caches of deleted indexed content that produces a 404 (page not found) every 3 – 6 months. To completely remove an entire page from Google search results: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/1663419?hl=en
