  Hello!

  I created this blog 3 years ago and have not utilized it as I had hoped. Instead of deleting it and having to wait 30 days to make a new one, I was wondering if/how I could completely change my existing blog and change the domain name, site name, design, and delete the two existing posts that are there. I haven’t logged onto this site in quite some time and I am hoping for some answers on how the best way to proceed is so I can begin a completely new blog. Thanks!

  Deleting and waiting 30 days would be if you deleted your whole account. No need to do that! Just make a new, fresh site in this account using https://wordpress.com/start

  You can delete the old site completely, or save it if you like the address. Deleting gives up the address permanently and it cannot be used again.

  You can change your personal username if it’s too much like the old blog. Again this is permanent. I like to use my name on my account and not a variation of one of my blogs, but totally up to you. Update your account name at https://wordpress.com/me/account or just change how it shows up on your blog in display name settings https://wordpress.com/me/.
