    theregoeslucie.wordpress.com is no longer available.
    The authors have deleted this site.

    Probably not. http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/
    You can register another .wordpress.com blog http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/

    Then if you wish to you can register a domain via a domain mapping upgrade because it does not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is when you are domain mapping.

    IMPORTANT NOTE: If any person or any bot is posting anything to your blog or deleting content from it or has deleted the blog, then you have provided them with the ability to do so either deliberately by adding them as official users, or by allowing them access to your login information, or by posting content that makes it easy for them to guess what your log-in information is.

    Who, aside from you, has access to your login information?

    Go to your email program and change the password to a very difficult one because that’s how many hackers gain access to blogs
    Change your blog password to a very difficult one > http://en.support.wordpress.com/passwords/#change-your-password

    Use a secure, encrypted connection to connect to your Dashboard. Under Users → Personal Settings, check the box that says “Always use HTTPS when visiting administration pages, and click Save Changes.

    Set up two step authentication http://en.support.wordpress.com/security/two-step-authentication/

    Then read this please http://en.support.wordpress.com/security/

    P.S. I flagged this for Staff follow-up. Please subscribe to the thread so you are notified when they respond and please be patient while waiting. Read also http://en.support.wordpress.com/export/#backups

    http://theregoeslucie.com/ seems to be fine. What is the URL of the blog in question?
