Blog Entries in Account
-
Hi there,
Two questions – I’ve an old externally hosted blog still appearing in my wordpress account – http://www.andrewallen.co.uk/. Could this be removed?
Secondly, I used to have a blog on andrewallen.wordpress.com – could this be restored, even if to a blank site, so I can reuse the domain name andrewallen.wordpress.com, as I then plan to map my domain andrewallen.co.uk back to wordpress?
Thanks for your help.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

1. Yes. You can’t delete it but Staff can. Provided you post the URLs of self hosted blogs you want deleted from your account into a forum thread like this one, Staff can do this for you. Please do that now as I tagged this thread for their assistance. Please subscribe to it so you are notified when they respond.

2. No. You cannot recover or register any deleted blog URL. Deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/The good news is It does not matter a feather or fig what the underlying .wordpress.com sub-domain URL is when you are domain mapping. You can register any URL and map to the domain from it.

Dashboard > Store > My Upgrades is where you do the primary blog set up knowing it can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.

Hi there,
I removed the self-hosted blog http://www.andrewallen.co.uk/ from your account, as requested. Please let me know if I can provide any further help!

Thank you timethief, rachelmcr – I can confirm this is now resolved.
I’ve setup a new wordpress subdomain, onto which I’ll map my external domain name.
