  I’ve gone through a number of different wordpress.com addresses for my site. If I discard an old address, will it ever be available again to anyone and, if not, why not?

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

  Hi there! We do not recycle used blog address. Mainly we do this to protect our users. We don’t want someone to be able to impersonate your site, or abusively use old links to your site from around the internet.

  Let me know if you have more questions about this!
