  Hi artwis,

  I can explain how to empty the contents of the blog, but there is no way to get the domain you deleted back.

  Hi there!

  I was able to catch it on time and recovered “arthurwistuba.wordpress.com” for you. :) Please be mindful that deleting a blog is indeed permanent and we may not be able to recover it again next time.

  If you wanted to clear a blog of yours of its content, please let me know which one so I can help you out. Then again, do understand that once everything is deleted, this cannot be taken back.

  Thank you!

  Thanks druesome!

  I wanted to clear a blog too! Actually, two.
  This one you just recovered (arthurwistuba.wordpress.com) and the other one (artwis.wordpress.com)

  I also have another question
  I was searching for some wordpress themes and I liked this one: http://www.frogsthemes.com/wordpress-themes/revive-pro

  But I don’t know if I can buy it because I don’t know or I didnt’t find the option to install this theme on wordpress (I’m thinking about buying a premium account). If I upgrade my account to premium, will I be able to install this theme?

  @artwis
  You cannot use any themes from that site on any WordPress.COM blog. The only themes we can use on free hosted WordPress.COM blogs like your blog are the themes found here http://wordpress.com/themes/

  There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs for security reasons and we cannot:

  upload any third party themes,
  create child themes,
  create our own themes,
  edit templates,
  create own own layouts,
  or use stylesheets from other themes.

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/

  There is no upgrade you can purchase that changes that. WordPress.org offers free software that you can install on a web server. You can create themes, upload and install themes and plugins, run ads, and edit the database, etc. If you want FTP access and to install plugins or third party themes into a site then you will have to hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/ and set up your own WordPress.org install.

  Hey Arthur,

  I’ve just emptied these blogs for you:

  arthurwistuba.wordpress.com
  artwis.wordpress.com

  Regarding your question about installing themes, TT was correct in saying that this isn’t allowed on WordPress.com for security reasons. Please read more here:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/

  You may want to look at our theme gallery for alternatives:

  http://themes.wordpress.com/

  Or consider moving to a self-hosted WordPress.org blog to enable you to install your own themes:

  Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. Thanks!
