  I wish to delete the name of the domain I just registered, along with the blog title – since it is a .wordpress.com site, I don’t find it in the upgrades. I basically want to start over. How do I do this?

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

  Do you have a custom domain or not? If you’re talking about http://politicsofevolution.wordpress.com/ then deleting it deletes all the contents too. If you just want to delete the NAME on the Settings->General page, go ahead. You can change it there if you want, too. If you want to change the URL, you will have to go through a process which is permanent and IRREVERSIBLE, so I suggest you not do that. It’s a good URL. If I were you I’d just set it to Private or something, register the new URL you want, and then buy the Redirect UPgrade for the old blog so that anyone going to or subscribing to the old blog is automatically sent to the new one.
