  I wanted to revert my blog to its original setting and was unable to do so, so I deleted my blog name thinking that I could reuse it, now I’m stuck and can not find a way to reuse the blog name I previously owned. Any help with this will be greatly appreciated! Thank you

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

  I’m sorry but deleted blog URLs here are not recycled and no exceptions are made. That’s why 3 warnings are given and why a verification link in an email that must be clicked is sent in order to accomplish deletion.

  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.
