  Hello, I have a profil “Fanny und ich”, which has the url fannyundich.wordpress.com.
  I already had a blog, but deleted it. Now I want to set up a new blog and would like to use the url of my profil “fannyundich.wordpress.com. Unfortunately it doesn’t work. What can I do? I do not want to set up another new URL. Thanks a lot for your assistance in advance.
  Kind regards, Annette
  Blog url:

  It’s too bad you deleted the blog and will not be able to recover the URL. Deleted blog URLs here are not recycled and that’s why there are 3 warnings given as well as clicking a verification link in an email to delete a blog.
  See > http://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/
  and http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

  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.

  Dear timethief, thanks a lot for your quick answer. I realized the warning but was thinking that they would recycle the URLS. Okay, then I try a similar URL.
  Thank you again.

  Was just reading again: The URL exists, but only for my profile. It means I can never get it back for my blog, even if it exists for my profil?
