  I deleted my blog (www,(email visible only to moderators and staff)) I would like to use the same domain to create a different blog, but it wont let me. I don’t understand why I can’t use it if it is no longer in use?

  I’m sorry but this is not possible.

  Deleted blog URLs are not recycled here. Confirm by reading:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/delete-blog/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

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

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