  Hi, new to wordpress and going through the process of setting up my blog. I have had a number of changes to my blog address. I now think I want to use an address that I had previously entered, but I get the message that this address is already being used. Is there a way to use a previously entered address? Thanks

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Depends if the blog was deleted or just set as private.

  BTW do not ever delete anything at WP.com, because it is permanent and we see tons of requests “BUT I REALLY WANT IT BACK.” If you just set it to Private instead, you will always have it if you want it.
