  I deleted an old blog an completed all the steps.
  Created a new blog address but wasn’t able to complete all the steps. Now it says that the new one I created has been deleted by authors?
  Is there a way to recover newly created blog address?

  The answer is no. To prevent accidental or inadvertent deletion of blogs, there are multiple warnings given that blog deletion is permanent. Lastly, a verification link is sent in an email and must be clicked to delete a blog. If you clicked it and the blog was deleted it’s game over. http://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/

  Deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made.

  However, you can register another blog with a similar name. http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/

  Or you can register a domain via a domain mapping upgrade and it will not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is.

  I was creating a new blog address and not deleting it.
  When I created the new blog address, there wasn’t any confirmation of deletion.
  Bummed that I can’t reclaim that blog address. :(
  Thanks for your input timethief.
