  Hi I would like to reactivate the madcurie.Wordpress.com site. I think I deleted it a while ago. Is it possible to recover use of that domain name? Thanks.

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

  If you deleted that site two or more years ago then see the second paragraph here > Recycling Blog Addresses (URLs)

  Hi there,

  As you can see from the link @timethief provided, the addresses for some sites deleted two or more years ago might be available again (though there are a variety technical limitations). If you see a deleted site with an address you want, you can try registering it as a new site here:

  http://wordpress.com/start

  If the address is available, it will be yours instantly.

  If it is not available, you won’t be able to register it there, and in that case there is nothing more we can do, even if you were the original owner of the address.

  Keep in mind, we also offer an upgrade for custom domain names and you can use any WordPress.com blog URL underneath a custom domain. For more details about how domain mapping works, see this guide:
