Deleting/ transferring blog name

    I deleted a blog, and decided to start a fresh site using that domain (free with the .wordpress.com) but it won’t let me use that name. After speaking to an ‘expert’ with wordpress they said that once a site is deleted that the domain name .wordpress.com is unusable for two years. Is there any way I can get jamiemartelli.wordpress.com back? it is my name, so I would like to be able to use it. I was not aware of this, otherwise I would have just cleared the old site and used that.

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

    Hi there!

    Sorry, it’s not possible. Once the site is deleted, the .wordpress.com for that site will be unavailable for two years.
