  I recently deleted my original blog found at blog address http://alivebydesign.wordpress.com. I would like to either create a new blog with the same exact blog address or restore my original blog so I can make changes. May you either free up the blog address so I can create a new blog at that address or simply free up http://alivebydesign.wordpress.com so I can start from scratch. Thank you!

  I’m sorry but reclaiming a deleted blog URL is not possible. It takes bypassing 3 warnings that blog deletion is irreversible and clicking a confirmation link in an email to delete a blog for good reason ie. deleted blog URLs are not recycled.

  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.
