  I want to make a blog but I want to be anonymous to people I know. I thought I could do this on this account but it looks like my posts still link back to my username.
  SO, I want to delete this site here, make a new wordpress account, and then make a site with the same name on that account. If I delete this site, will the name become unavailable for other users?

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

  Hi benedictify,

  Deleting a site permanently removes it and you’ll never be able to re-use its WordPress.com address

  Instead of deleting the site, you may transfer your blog to another user or account. Here is the document for that.

  Hope this helps. Thanks!
