  Hi,
  While initially creating my blog I created it under the name challenging food intolerance and I did not know what I was doing so I deleted it. I would like to be able to change my current blog address http://challengingfoodintoleranceblog.wordpress.com back to http://challengingfoodintolerance.wordpress.com and when I do it says that it is unavailable. How can I fix this please?

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

  Hello @challengingfoodintolerance,
  I may disappoint you, but once a site is deleted it’s address is reserved and cannot be registered by anyone(not even by the original owner). This is done to keep your blog form being impersonated by someone else.

  That’s the reason why there are multiple warnings given so that you can think twice before proceeding with the action.

  I am really sorry about this.

  Thanks.
