  I want to change the web address for my blog but am getting a message saying that this address is already in use. It’s an address that i previously set up and then deleted.

  I intended to upgrade to the .com version but only if i can use the following:

  oneshotbeary

  can my current web address be changed to oneshotbeary.wordpress.com for now?

  Thanks

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

  I’m sorry, but deleted blogs cannot be restored or reused. Deleting a blog is permanent and the name cannot be used again. There are several warnings about this on the Tools -> Delete Site page and in the help pages, and you are required to confirm the deletion by email.

  Delete a Website

  You can start a new blog by logging in to WordPress.com and then going to http://en.wordpress.com/signup/

  With any blog, you can also use your custom domain with Domain Mapping upgrade. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/

  If he did that you would be at the back of the very, very long line-up and I would immediately have first dibs on the first place in the line-up.

  I’m sorry, that’s not possible. Please follow the steps I mentioned before. Sorry for the inconvenience.
