  I accidently deleted the second blog on my account, but want the name back even though i’ll be starting from scratch. Once it’s been deleted, is there any way to get the username/or account name back to be able to use in the URL? – or atleast be able to make a brand new account but using that specific username? I’d hate to have to think up another one when i’ve already established one :/

  Thanks –

  You will have to contact support, but it is not too likely that you will be able to get it back.

  I deleted my blog but now I’d like it back

  Since you can’t delete an account, only a blog, you should be able to use the username right now.

  The blog gets deleted, the username lives forever… you can still login and post comments under the username and the avatar will still appear with the username. However, the blog and all the posts and comments attached to it, are gone.

  If you want to maintain the username (“Bob”) as a link to an active blog, or if you really liked the username as a URL, maybe try creating a new blog… like “Bobby” with “Bob” as the Nickname — the username attached to your account does not have to be the name of your blog or your Nickname.

  Just so you know, no one else can ever use your “Bob” as their username so don’t worry about imitators or having to rebuild your cred totally from scratch… you’re still the only “Bob” on WordPress.
