  I started a blog a while back. I would like to start a new one, but I really want to use the blog address already assigned to the original blog. Can I switch that to a new blog?

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

  You can export and import content between two WordPress blogs. See here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#moving-between-wordpress-com-blogs
  To prevent accidental or inadvertent deletion of blogs, there are multiple warnings given that blog deletion is permanent and irreversible. Lastly, a verification link is sent in an email and it must be clicked to delete a blog. If clicking that link does not work then copy and paste it into your upper browser window and click. Once the verification link for deletion is clicked the blog URL is forever gone, gone, gone. http://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/

  Deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made.
