  be aware that if you or anyone else delete a .wordpress.com blog URL then you cannot register it again. There are several warnings throughout the deletion process that clearly state that blog deletion is a permanent and irreversible act http://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/

  Deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made.

  You can register another .wordpress.com blog http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/

  Then if you wish to you can register a domain via a domain mapping upgrade because it does not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is when you are domain mapping.

  re: https://ballyduffaraglintallowblog.wordpress.com/ and https://ballyduffaraglintallow.wordpress.com/

  All blogs are independent websites so what you do one one has no effects on any others. Deleting a blog URL is a permanent irreversible act.

  To delete a free hosted WordPress.COM blog you must be logged in under the exact same username account that registered a blog to delete the blog Dashboard → Tools → Delete Site http://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/

  Deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made.

  Alternatively, to change blog visibility to private go to > Settings > Reading scroll to Blog Visibility and choose option 3 . See the guide here http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/

  thx. Ok, I would like to delete the ballyduffaraglintallowblog.wordpress.com and keep the other. After the firefox crash I cannot access the ballyduffaraglintallow.wordpress.com blog, how do I regain access to this blog?
