  Hi,

  my blog url is currently alvivanco.wordpress.com , however before it used to be OneMinuteInMyLife.wordpress.com . I tried to switch it back to OneMinuteInMyLife, but it doesn’t let me as it says it is already taken, but it is not.

  thanks,

  Alejandro Vivanco

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

  No you can’t get it back – sorry. To delete a blog takes bypassing 3 warnings that blog deletion is irreversible and clicking a confirmation link in an email for good reason ie. deleted blog URLs are not recycled.

  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.
