  So I had a blog when I was in college (lydanny.wordpress.com) and I deleted it when I graduated. Im looking to start blogging again, but when I try to register it again, it says “lydanny.wordpress.com is no longer available.
  The authors have deleted this blog.” its not register to any other user, but I can’t re-register it to my account.

  Any help?

  I’m sorry but deleted blog URLs cannot be recycled. That’s why it takes ignoring 3 warnings and then clicking a verfication link in an email in order to delete a blog.

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

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