  If a domain has been deleted and is no longer available, why can’t I have it now?

  Really want http://www.dancingwithautism.wordpress.com to match my Facebook page.

  Possible? Please? :)

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

  dancingwithautism.wordpress.com is no longer available.
  The authors have deleted this site.

  The answer is no. Deleting a free hosted WordPress.com blog requires ignoring multiple warning messages clearly stating that URL deletion is permanent and irreversible. Not only that it requires using the verification link sent in the email and ignoring that same warning there too.

  The deleted blog URL will not become available again. I’m sorry but you cannot recover or register any deleted blog URL. 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.
