this new platform does take a lil bit of getting use to since there are more bells and whistles... Especially when we are use to the old outdated one with less features, on the old QB there were a lot less to learn...
Hang tight someone will come around and assist you.. Sorry I dont blg.. cant help.

Go to your blog. There is a little pencil that appears right at the end of each blog post when you put your mouse there. Click on that. On the next page that opens up, you have option to modify or delete the blog entry.

I just found some old instructions I posted for somebody else, try THIS:
- Click "My Profile"
- Click on "View Blog Entries" on the left
- Put a checkmark in the little box upper right of each post there that you want to delete
- Slide mouse directly down from there to the word "Moderation", and click on the little diamond thingie there, and options pop up.
- Put a dot in "Delete Blog Entry"
- Click "Proceed"
- GOOD LUCK!

I just tried the process in the above post....there is one more "proceed" button to click to make it go bye-bye. You will still see the title of the blog page in your blog listings, but it will say it's been deleted.

i did answer this question by email. 
in case there are others who also don't know:
go to the blog itself.
pass cursor over the entry/comment title until the little yellow pencil appears.
one of the edit options is deletion.
the delete results in what's called a "soft delete".
the blogger and moderators can see the annotation of deletion. others don't see it at all.
after more testing i discovered that only i can physically remove it (vs. soft-delete.)
if you want the entry/comment fully and physically removed, send me a link and i can do that for you.
