  Hi!

  While trying to change my blog address to https://whonix.wordpress.com. But it says “Sorry, that site already exists!”. However, when I visit https://whonix.wordpress.com, it says “The authors have deleted this site.”.

  I am maintainer of Whonix:
  http://whonix.sourceforge.net/

  Proof:
  https://sourceforge.net/p/whonix/wiki/OnlineProfiles/

  So, if I could get the https://whonix.wordpress.com address, that would be really great.

  Cheers,
  adrelanos

  However, you can register another blog with a similar name. http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/

  Or you can register a domain via a domain mapping upgrade and it will not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is.
