  Hi,

  I wanna create a new blog, but unfortunately find the url is not available. However when I try to visit the blog of that url, it says it has been deleted by the author. So I want to contact him/her to see if he/she can release the address, how could I find him/her?

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

  Sorry once a blog is deleted the URL is also gone with the blog forever the owner of the current URL that you would like is not possible for retrieval from the that owner.

  Please familiarize yourself with this FAQ http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

  As you know, blog names are not recycled on wp.com. Nor will support folks give you contact information for a deleted blog.

  You might try to find cached or archived versions of the blog to [maybe] see if the owner had an email or street addry on their site…
