  I had some trouble changing my blog name to volleybaljunkie.wordpress.com. So I deleted my old blog, called huisinkralingseveer.wordpress.com, and then tried to start a new one called volleybaljunkie.wordpress.com. But then it said that this name was already taken. This is really strange, because it’s not taken!

  Please help me, I’d just like to start the blog called volleybaljunkie.wordpress.com!
  Blog url:

  Once you delete a blog that name cannot be used again.

  Never again? Or do I just have to wait a while?

  You could wait, but it would be a long wait. Gone is gone. For ever. You can’t get it back. That’s why there are warnings before you delete.

  I don’t thing my story is clear enough… I don’t want my old blog back. I want to start a new one called volleybaljunkie.wordpress.com, but I can’t because I keep getting the message that it already exists (but it doesn’t).

  Someone has the username then if there is no blog. How do you know it doesn’t exist?

  I have the username, but not the blog. I know it isn’t in use because when I tried to change my blog from huisinkralingseveer.wordpress.com to volleybaljunkie.wordpress.com it still existed, but I got an error message. That’s when I deleted huisinkralingseveer.wordpress.com and tried to start the new one under the name of volleybaljunkie.wordpress.com but then all of a sudden it WAS in use. So I think something went wrong when I tried to change names…
