  I made an account and site with the url omnifuture.wordpress.com, but I did not like layout of the site and decided to delete the site and start over. Trying to go back I cannot get access to that URL anymore. It still says I have that url in my account settings though. Is there a way to rebuild with that URL?

  I should note I did not mean to delete it but to start over with the site design.

  Deleting a wordpress.COM URL is not easily done and takes ignoring warnings to accomplish.

  Deleted .wordpress.com blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and the only exceptions are made are for URLs that were deleted 2 or more years ago. http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

  You can register another site: Adding a New Site or Blog to an Existing Account https://en.support.wordpress.com/create-a-blog/#adding-a-new-site-or-blog-to-an-existing-account

  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.

  Thank you for the reply.

  If people from wordpress are reading this, please make the fact that URLs will be permanently deleted BIGGER. I did not see it and I was reading through it as I did it.
