  Hi Guys,

  I’m planning to start my blog here and my idea is to name it “followmehome.wordpress.com”. The system says it’s already exist, however when I checked it in the browser and it says “followmehome.wordpress.com is no longer available. The authors have deleted this site.” How come that I cannot use it then and is there any way to use it?

  Thanks a lot.

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

  https://followmehome.wordpress.com is no longer available. The authors have deleted this site.

  Site deletion is a permanent and irreversible act. https://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/

  I am sorry but you cannot register a deleted blog URL. No one can use a deleted blog URL regardless of who registered it. Deleted blog URLs are not recycled here and you can confirm by reading:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/delete-blog/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

  However, you can register another blog with a similar name. http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/

  Or you can register a domain via a domain mapping upgrade and it will not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is.
