  Hi, WordPress!

  I was the owner of the site panamarock.wordpress.com, but I wasn’t writing on it since a long time ago. When I opened it, a message appeared in the main page, a message I didn’t know how to delete.

  I thought ‘well, I delete the page, so I can ‘reopen it’ under the same name’. Of course, my idea failed, and the name ‘panamarock.wordpress.com’ wasn’t able to be taken. I named my new site ‘newpanamarock.wordpress.com’, hoping that maybe after 24 hours I could take my old name back… That was (I guess) a week ago and still I can’t name it back ‘panamarock.wordpress.com’.

  Is there a solution for this or should I give up?

  Thanks!!!

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

  Deleted wordpress.COM blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and the only exceptions are made are for URLs that were deleted 2 or more years ago. http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

  You can register another .wordpress.com blog http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/

  Then if you wish to you can register a domain via a domain mapping upgrade because it does not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is when you are domain mapping.
