  I had “Blog your Passion” guys set up a self hosted site for me and now I am trying to add Custom Design to it. I have 2 other blogs on here that I NEVER use. The 2 that I don’t use are the only ones with options to make my primary site.
  Any ideas how to delete my lovelandavenue.wordpress.com and gooddinnermom.wordpress.com accounts, and have only the above listed site, gooddinnermom.com as the primary?
  My technical skills, especially in self-hosting are remedial and I’m hoping this is an easy fix.
  The buys at Blogging Your Passion just referred me to freelancers.com but I don’t want to pay for some help that I think should be something I can do myself. ?
  Thanks for any help and advice.
  Sally

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

  The blog you specified at gooddinnermom.com does not appear to be hosted at WordPress.com.

  This support forum is for blogs hosted at WordPress.com. If your question is about a self-hosted WordPress blog then you’ll find help at the WordPress.org forums.

  If you don’t understand the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org, you may find this information helpful.

  If you forgot to include a link to your blog, you can reply and include it below. It’ll help people to answer your question.

  You do not need to delete blogs to reassign your primary blog by linking it to your username. Dashboard -> Users -> Personal Settings -> then scroll down to Account Details. Then scroll down to where it says ‘Primary Blog‘ select the URL for your primary wordpress.com blog and then save changes. After doing that every time you leave a comment on a blog your username can be clicked and your primary blog can be instantly located. Note: This is not retroactive.

  Provided you are logged in under the username account that registered the blog you can delete the blog by using these instructions. http://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/
  Note that deleted blog URLs are not recycled.
