starting a new blog/deleting an old one
-
Hi- I have a wordpress blog that I started in 2010. I would like to start a new blog, with a different name, using wordpress.
– Is it possible to have more than one blog under one account or do I need to start a new account?
– Can I change the name of my account? I really don’t want to write on the new blog anymore at all, but it seems a shame to just delete it entirely. I would like my account name to correlate with my new blog. -
Is it possible to have more than one blog under one account …
Yes.
Can I change the name of my account?
Yes. See https://en.support.wordpress.com/change-your-username/
You have two choices.
1. two blogs – same username account & email address
While logged into WordPress.com register another blog under the same username account with the same associated email address by clicking this link https://signup.wordpress.com/start/ and following through.2. two username accounts – a blog registered under each one with – a different email address
If you select 2. then clear your browser cache https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-your-browser-cache and cookies. https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-wordpress-com-cookies
While NOT logged into WordPress.com you can register a new username account, under a different email address and then register a blog under it by clicking this link https://signup.wordpress.com/signup/ and following through. -
deleting an old one
To delete a WordPress.COM hosted blog you must be logged in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog to navigate to Dashboard > Tools > Delete Site. The guide is here http://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/
Deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made except for the one stated here http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/
Alternatively, to change blog visibility to Private go to > Settings > Reading scroll to Blog Visibility and choose option 3. See the guide here http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings
