re-using a domaine
-
Hi,
Two days ago I wanted to open a new blog for a friend and used a certain domain.wordpress.com
It didn’t work out well and I thought that if I delete it and try again I might get rid of the problem (which was jibrishing the Hebrew, and does not happen in any of the other blogs I help astablish).
I deleted the blog and now wordpress won’t let me open a new one under the same domain, caliming it is taken (but I chacked the doomain and it only saud blog was deleted, not taken by anyone).help….
Thank you.

If you deleted the blog, you effectively deleted the site address. That’s why WordPress.com makes you follow several steps and at each one telling you you can never get it back. You can’t get it back. You’ll have to choose a new name.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/delete-blog/What do you mean “It didn’t work out well”? If you have a problem with a WordPress.com blog, post the problem to these forums. There’s also a forum בעברית if that is more comfortable. That’s what they’re here for. :)

You can ALWAYS restart from zero by going back to the default Theme and deleting all your test Post, Pages, etc. Worst case is if you change something like the character encoding (for some different languages I think) the Staff could go back and fix it if you forgot what you did.
The Forum has helped thousands of people get their blog set to what they wanted to do.

But if the domain is now empty again, why can I not re-choose it?
:(
Oh, well….
Thank you. -
Here’s the official explanation as to why old names are not recycled:

When you deleted it you would have received three warnings about how permanent the deletion is.
-
And the delete page even has a big yellow warning about reading and understanding what happens, and you even have to click a checkbox to say that you understand that it is permanent.
The confirmation email you receive also states all of this again. It is permanent. It cannot be undone. You can never get that URL back again.

That might be true guys.
But it was a Hebrew blog and the whole problem was that the Hebrew was jibrished….Thank you for the helpful answers.
