I recently opened a new blog, but it would not let me use my domain name. It is attached to the old/closed blog. How can I recover my old address name without an upgrade?

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

You cannot undelete a blog. Deletion is permanent. However…

I’ll tag this for staff attention so that they can move the domain name over to the new blog. They will need two things:

1. What is the domain name you want moved.

2. What is the URL of the blog you want it moved to?

I don’t see any registered domains under your account.

As mentioned above, if you’d please tell us exactly which domain you want to move to which blog, we should be able to help.

This is the new blog address : http://mmyimagemaker.wordpress.com/

(You will notice an extra “m” in the new address). I would like to change it to the correct name below.

myimagemaker

My domain name is : myimagemaker.com

Thank you sooo much !

If you are mapping a custom domain name the base WordPress.COM blog domain name does not matter as your visitors will not see the base blog name

imagemak, I haven’t sent an email. If you mean the notification of reply to this forum thread, that goes to a donotreply address. All received emails are tossed.

If you’d like to reply, please do so here so we can help you.

WordPress.com blogs are owned by the users who register them.

You can map your existing domain to any WordPress.com blog following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/
