  When I try to start a blog a get info that blog name is used, but when I go to the adress there is info it has been deleted (.wordpress.com domain). How can I check wether it is possible to get this blog name?

  Hi mmatysiak,

  WordPress.com does not recycle old deleted blog names. There are a number of reasons for this which you can read about here. http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

  There are a couple options for you. You could either just choose another WordPress.com blog name to use, or you could register a custom domain name and get anything available and use it for your site.

  You can read more about that here http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/

  Hope that helps.
