  I used to have a blog here and then deleted it. Now I want it back but I can’t. I understand that WordPress will not allow a user to register a blog that was previously owned by someone else, but this was MY blog, and I’m using the SAME account I used when I first created that blog, so the whole “someone else might use your blog for different purposes” argument does not apply here.

  You did not specify a blog address or reason for posting when you created this topic.

  This support forum is for blogs hosted at WordPress.com. If your question is about a self-hosted WordPress blog then you’ll find help at the WordPress.org forums.

  If you don’t understand the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org, you may find this information helpful.

  If you forgot to include a link to your blog, you can reply and include it below. It’ll help people to answer your question.

  Of course I couldn’t specify the blog address, because that blog has been deleted.

  My advice is to accept the facet that the answer is “no”. Once a blog is deleted it’s gone forever and the name and URL cannot be recycled. Choose another blog name.
