  I’ve deleted my blog few months ago and I’d like to open it again, I don’t mind losing the articles I just want to keep my username. Do I have to create a new blog?

  Thanks

  Howdy,

  I’m sorry but it’s not possible to reuse a blog address once it’s been deleted. Users are notified of this when they confirm deletion.

  However, you can always register a different WordPress.com address, and register a similar custom domain (example.com):
