  Just bought this domain and set up a WordPress blog. But WordPress sees that there used to be a blog with this domain but that it expired last year. How do I get WordPress to delete their history of a blog with that domain so that mine will start working? WordPress thinks the domain is expired rather than that I just purchased it from GoDaddy!

  Thanks!

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

  Hi minisupercar,

  What is the domain name you’ve just purchased and the WordPress.com subdomain (site name) you’d like to use it with?
