  I made a bloggy mess, so I deleted my blog with the intent to re-create it, under the SAME account, and call it the SAME thing: MADHDMin.wordpress.com. PLEASE can admin do this for me? I am re-using my own blog name! PLEASE?!

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

  I’m sorry but the answer is that deleted blog URLs are not recycled here. Confirm by reading:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/delete-blog/
  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 vis a domain mapping upgrade and it will not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is.

  Thank you for your reply. I quickly realized that I had deleted to the point of no return, though one second too late. A lesson learned.
