  Hello,

  Yesterday evening I wanted to start my own travel blog for my world trip with my girlfriend.
  After two hours, my header photo was cropped and I couldn’t redo it.
  Therefore I deleted my website in order to start over again.
  But then I saw there’s something like an anti-recycling rule that URLs cannot be used twice.

  Is there any way I can get back the original url?
  Another name is sh*te to be very honoust.

  Thanks in advance.

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

  All support docs are here https://support.wordpress.com/
  Please read this one http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

  That will not be possible.

  It takes ignoring multiple warnings to successfully delete a wordpress.COM blog including clicking a deletion link sent to you by email and that’s with good reason. Deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made except for the one stated here http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/ for blogs URLs deleted 2 or more years ago.

  You can register another .wordpress.com blog http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/
