  I have just started a personal blog and I would like to set up a blog to feature on my company website, but the name I am after (my company name) is taken, when I visit the blog in question it says its deleted. How do I go about asking for that blog?

  Thanks

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

  The above blog is not the blog I need help with, that is my personal blog.

  Please note that deleted blog URLs are not recycled.

  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.
