  Hello, please excuse me for a silly action/question. I was willing to change my domain name, so I created a new one expecting to export post to the new one, but then somehow I thougth of it would be easier just to change the name of an old one to a new one, so I’ve deleted that new one and now cannot use that name in any way. Is anything can be done? Or I have to wait a year for that ‘new and deleted’ domain name to expire? (oh no..) Please, help, if theres a chance, to get it back. Thanks a lot.

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

  Too bad you ignored all the warnings. Deleted wordpress.COM blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and the only exceptions are made are for URLs that were deleted 2 or more years ago. http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

  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.
