Hi I signed up for WordPress as nadiajenko.wordpress.com -which I want to keep.
I am new to this and accidentally added two blogs that appear on my page.

Is there a way to delete the other two?
-njenko.wordpress.com
-personalregistry.wordpress.com

My site is blank so I don’t care if it is all erased and start clean but I do want to keep my nadiajenko.wordpress.com! Thank you so much your time. I greatly appreciate it!

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

Hi njenko,

This article in the Support docs should do you right:

Delete a Website

Let us know if that didn’t cover everything.

Consider simply setting them to private. Once you’ve deleted them they’re gone forever. Besides, it’s helpful to have an extra blog available you can use to test out themes and widgets before you implement them on your main blog. There’s no limit on the number of blogs you’re allowed to have.

I’m with kokkieh. Deleted blog URLs here are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made.

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/

Then you can use one of the blogs as a test blog as kokkieh suggests and the other as a backup blog for your main site by periodically using the export/import feature. http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#moving-between-wordpress-com-blogs
