  I want to change my blog name but the error message says it already exists. I HAD the blog called DatingDisastersDiary and completely deleted it. Why can’t I reopen it with this same name?

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

  I’m sorry but the answer is that deleted blog URLs are not recycled here. Confirm by reading:

  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.
