If you want to delete a blog post that you submitted earlier (say if you had posted something that you had for sale and then you sold the item), do this:

1. Login to the MIWG website.
2. From your dashboard, click on the Posts link on the left side of your screen.
3. Hover over the blog posting that you want to delete. When you hover over one of your blog postings, a submenu will appear. Click on the Delete link in the submenu.

Note that you can only delete blog postings that you submitted. When the blog post is deleted, it is actually just moved to the trash. If you make a mistake and delete something accidentally,  you can always recover it from the trash again:

1. From your dashboard, click on the Posts link on the left side of your screen.
2. Click on the Trash category. This will show all of the blog postings that are in the trash.
3. Hover over the blog posting that you want to restore from the trash and then click on the Restore link.
