  Hello,

  I created a blog not to long ago and didn’t even post anything. I was confused on what to do and deleted it.. How can I reactivate to use that web-address?

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

  I have bad news for you. Deleted blog URLs are not recycled.

  However, you can register another blog with a similar name. http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/

  Or you can register a domain via a domain mapping upgrade and it will not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is.

  Ah crap :( I have my own domain through an e-commerce site I run, and I wanted to add a blog to drive more traffic. And I didnt understand the whole mapping thing..

  You can register another .wordpress.com blog URL http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/ as it makes no difference what the underlying .wordpress.com sub-domain URL is when you are domain mapping.
