  Hello, I have just joined wordpress by creating an account but the username registered (my email address) is not the one I meant to use. I would like to change it, or if that’s not possible, to delete my account and register anew.

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

  Thanks for your reply but I don’t want to change my email address, I want to change my username (my email was used accidentally as my username), or if that’s not possible, to delete my account and register anew.
