   I do not understand what I have as address and blogs. when I sign in, I see in the upper righthand corner, my name and a picture. And when I click it, there appears below my name again with another picture. It seems that these are two different sites. Is that true? Or is one site the site I only see, and the other a public site? ALSLO, I paid for an upgrade. Recently, I saw the funds drawn from my bank account for the annual upgrade renewal. YET, on my site, it shows that it has not been paid and will expire 17 December 2012.

   I am a bit lost. I have added a few blogging addresses. But, to which account? (I continue to be confused by seeing my name twice (each time with a different picture).

   Help.

   The blog I need help with is dancingonadrysaltlake.wordpress.com.

   In a way, you do have two domains under that blog, but it's all the same blog.

   http://dominiquedefazio.me/ is just mapped to dominiquedefazio.wordpress.com

   As for the domain expiration date, I took care of the problem, and it should now be showing as expiring in 2013.

   Thanks for taking care of that.

   Another issue: In creating a new blog name, I made an error in typing. So my new blog reads makatachidotcom.wordpress.com INSTEAD OF makatachi.wordpress.com. I worsened it by trying to correct it. Now there are THREE blogs that I shall never use (makatachidotcom; makatachidotcom1; matakatachidotcom2).

   I would like to establish a blog with EITHER ma-katachi.wordpress.com, OR ma-katachi.com. I have tried to eliminate the three misspelled blogs without success. And, I prefer to see that done before risking to make more mistakes in adding a new blog.

   ANY SUGGESTIONS?

   (and thank you for your response to my other question.

   Blog names can only include letters and numbers (no other characters, like - ), so stick with http://makatachidotcom.wordpress.com/ as makatachi.wordpress.com is owned by some else.

   With http://makatachidotcom.wordpress.com/ you can map any domain to it by adding the domain via Store -> Domains in your blog's Dashboard.

   The undesired blogs can be deleted following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/

   You are very helpful.
   Thank you.

   I now see how to delete a blog name "if I replace it with another spelling."
   But if I try only to delete the two variables that I added (one with "01" at the end, the other with "02" at the end, I cannot go to the next page to effect the change. It seems that I can correct the name, but not eliminate a blog name without replacing it.

   Thank you so much.

   I checked just now, and tow of the addresses have been deleted.
   Thank you.

   The last one: makatachidotcom.worpress.com I could resolve by following your suggestions to rename it. OR, you could delete it as well, and I shall start over. If you can, please delete that address also.
