  3. Let me test my answer. I am going to delete this blog Guang Zhou Kitchen from another account and let us check in 3 or more months time if the blog has been removed from the list of blogs.

    I will be documenting the test over at Test to see how long deleted blog stays in blog list and you can check back here or that test post for the results.

  4. I don't have that link in EITHER view. On the particular blog I'm trying to delete, I don't have a basic option. Even with the new dashboard, the only thing that is in settings is the mobile stuff. I was able to delete 2 other old blogger blogs but for some reason this last one just doesn't seem to have an option to delete. Any other suggestions?
