    Hi. I already have got a blog: kayserpeintre.wordpress.com, linked to (email visible only to moderators and staff). This one is in good health, thanks to WP.
    Now I try to create a new one, named nkgraph, linked to (email visible only to moderators and staff) but it says this already exists. The name links to an old (2008), empty and useless page named N.K. , Weblog, maybe something I began to build long time ago, but I dont think so. How can I get that name back and use it? Thanks a lot. Nicolas.

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

    You can’t:

    If you find that an active blog address is registered by another user, you may be able to obtain it for your use if the owner of the blog agrees to transfer it to you. You may contact the blog owner – via a comment on their site or through a contact form, if available – to ask for their consent. If you do not get permission, or do not hear back from the blog owner, we cannot transfer the blog address to you. Please note that we cannot contact the owner of the previously deleted blog for you, nor can we provide you with the contact information of blog owners.

    Fortunately, there is an infinite supply of unused blog addresses, so our policy should not limit your address selection. Note that if you add a custom domain for use with your blog, the original ‘wordpress.com’ domain/URL is never visible to your readers for as long as the custom domain is used on your blog.
