  I had a blog on my domain. I deleted it. I now want to put another blog on this domain. How do I do this?

  Since you are self-hosted with your own domain, and using the software downloaded from wordpress.org, you need to direct your question to http://wordpress.org/support/ . WordPress.com uses a multi-user version of the software which is different and few, if any, here know anything about it.

  If you start as domain.wordpress.com and switch to domain.com through the domain mapping upgrade, your regular traffic won’t get lost but you will lose your Google juice for a few months and your Technorati rank will go back to zero.

  And I don’t think WordPress will ever sell you domain.wordpress.com. They’d be crazy to do it.
