Accessing a blog after deleting it in order to spell the blog name correctly
-
Hello,
I have deleted my new blog because the name was not correct (missed a capital letter) and now I cannot recreate the blog using the same name because WordPress says the site already exists. How do I recreate the blog name or does it still exist somewhere? Thank you for your help. -
What is the exact URL that you want to register please?
You cannot recover or register any deleted blog URL. Deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/To prevent accidental or inadvertent deletion of blogs, there are multiple warnings given that blog deletion is permanent and irreversible. Lastly, a verification link is sent in an email and it must be clicked to delete a blog. If clicking that link does not work then copy and paste it into your upper browser window and click. Once the verification link for deletion is clicked the blog URL is forever gone, gone, gone.

Then if you wish to you can register a domain via a domain mapping upgrade because it does not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is when you are domain mapping.

URLs do not have capital letters in them. And deleted blogs are not revived. You may want to look into registering a whatever.wordpress.com blog and buying the Custom Domain and Mapping upgrades to get whatever.com instead.

You’re welcome. As raincoaster noted above no URL can ever have any capitalized letters in it; all letters in URLs are in lower case.

And if you just wanted to change the TITLE the way it displays on the website, you can do that at Settings->General for future blogs.
