Re-register a deleted blog.
-
Hello,
I recently deleted my blog, because I wanted to start over. I created a new account and wanted to register the blog-title (url) in a new account. The only thing is, that I cannot register the blog anymore. WordPress says that the blogname is already taken….
Can anyone tell me that I’ve not been incredibly stupid?

Once blogs are deleted, they are gone forever. There are clear warnings on the delete blog page and in the confirmation email you received.

From the “delete blog” page:
If you are sure…
I’m sure I want to permanently disable my blog, and I am aware I can never get it back or use blogname.wordpress.com again.

As long as you don’t delete them you can move your blogs between accounts fairly easily, and you can have as many accounts and blogs as you’d like.
I know this is too late, but there’s always a next time. So, from memory I think it works like this:
Goto: Dashboard (old account) > Users > Authors & Users and add your new account as an Administrator. Change your old account so it’s only a “Contributor” to the blog you’re moving. Then, from your new account dashboard, you can now remove your blog from your old account.

Actually due to all the club penguin drama with them all deleting and stealing each other’s blogs, the original blog owner has to contact staff and request that they transfer the ownership of the blog.
See “transfer a blog to another user or account” in this support document: http://support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/
