  I deleted one of my blogs, and then I decided that I wanted to use that URL for my other blog. However, when I attempt to switch my current blogs URL it says the name is taken. Is there a way for me to get back my old URL???

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

  Sorry but there is no way to recover the URL you deleted because there is no recycling of deleted blog URLs here at WordPress.com. Confirm by reading http://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/ and
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/
  Prior warning of this is given to prevent accidental deletions by insuring everyone who deletes a blog has been warned that what they are doing is irreversible.

  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.
