  It says the domain name is taken. However, it is taken by me. I deleted the blog so I am unsure how to create a new blog with the same domain name.

  Please get back to me! Thank you!

  I’m sorry, but deleted blogs cannot be restored or reused, even if you deleted them by accident. Deleting a blog is permanent and the name cannot be used again. Please note that there are several warnings about this during the deletion process. The blog’s content and it’s address are lost.

  However, you can always start a new blog on WordPress.com, here:
  http://wordpress.com/signup/

  If it’s the blog’s address that you wanted, keep in mind that you can use the Domain Mapping upgrade to register a custom domain for your blog, or use one that your already own. Read more about this here:
