  Hi,
  When I was looking for a wordpress subdomain I found one that seemed to be available and I tried to use it, but I didn’t realize that the term ‘blog’ was appended to the sudomain when I created the site. Is there any way to take over the subdomain of a deleted wordpress site?
  Thanks in advance,
  Renato

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

  Hi,

  From the Recycling Blog Addresses support page:

  Sites already deleted by their authors two or more years ago may become available again, if they present no username or other technical conflicts. Do you see a deleted site with an address you would like to have? You can try registering a new site with that address here. If it is available, it will be yours.

  That should have been in quotes:
