  We have had a rash of new bloggers deleting sites because they have front page error messages which appear on all new WordPress.COM blogs. They assume they can register the same URL again after deletion when this is not possible.

  re: http://bmvideoexpress.wordpress.com/ front page error message

  Nothing Found
  It seems we cannot find what you are looking for. Perhaps try a search?

  There is nothing wrong with your site. By default the front page of the blog is the only page that will display all published posts on it. As soon as you publish a post not a page the front page error message and searchbox that appears on every new WordPress.COM blog will be gone. http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/

  For creating a post see here http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/#publish-a-new-post
  For creating a page see here

  On the bottom of your Admin page you will find a link to the step by step Learn WordPress.com blogging Tutorial prepared by Staff. http://learn.wordpress.com/

  The support documentation is all found at the Support link http://en.support.wordpress.com which is also on the bottom of your Admin page.

  re: site deletion

  All blogs are independent websites so what you do one one has no effects on any others. To delete a free hosted WordPress.COM blog you must be logged in under the exact same username account that registered the blog. http://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/

  NOTE: 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/
