  I want the url https://workfromhomejunkie.wordpress.com/ . When trying to create the site, it says it is unavailable. Yet the owner has deleted it. How can I get this url?

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

  Hi there,

  Take a look at this post: https://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

  Once a blog has been deleted, its related address is no longer available to use under any circumstance. Just to quote:

  Addresses (URLs) for blogs that have been deleted by the owner will remain deleted. We cannot, under any circumstances, allow someone to take over the address of a blog that was owned and deleted by its original/previous owner.

  If there’s any way you can think of a new, original address for your blog, or a small variation on the name you were going to use, that’s probably the best option. Hope that helps :)
