  i deleted a blog earlier (ronasimmonsphotography.wordpress.com) and now wish to use that name again. I have a new wordpress blog (womenatword.wordpress.com) and want to keep it, just addback the earlier blog now too. this is not asking for someone else’s blog … it was my own.

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

  That’s not possible. Deleted blog URLs are not recycled here and you can confirm by reading:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/delete-blog/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

  However, 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.
