  Does deleting a blog lock the domain name for anyone in the future, or just for me?

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

  Hi there,

  If you own xyz.wordpress.com and you delete it. It becomes reserved and unavailable for everyone.

  More info on that here –

  I hope this helps :)

  OK. I tried to create a new blog, but then it registered it under my existing username (I didn’t realize I was logged in). That’s not what I wanted; I wanted to register it under a new username. So I deleted it. But now it looks like I can’t ever use it again.
