  I want to change my blogname to one I’ve registred a while back and then deleted, when I try to register it now it comes up as already registred. I’m the same user now and then.
  Blog url: http://ernehed.wordpress.com/

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

  It’s unfortunate that you deleted the blog by using these instructions that include 3 warnings and require clicking a verification link in an email. The warnings and verification email state that Please note that deleted blog URLs are not recycled. http://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/

  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.
