  I created a test blog (myname.wordpress.com) and deleted it. Now I would like to use the same url again it but it says:

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

  Can I get it back? I tried variations of the url but they are not available either.

  No – once a domain name is deleted it is gone forever – even from the original owner – names are not recycled at WordPress.COM

  You need to find another variation or buy a custom domain name and map it to your blog here

  Deleting a blog URL is permanent and irreversible http://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/ as deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made.

  However, the good news is that you can register another .wordpress.com blog http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/
