  My friend and I are starting a blog, and we live in different countries, and when the blog was set up it defaulted to German. So I deleted it, thinking I could re-set it up in English, however it appears that we’re not able to recycle the blog name. Is there any way at all of getting it recycled so we could use the blog name again?

  Hello @myriadmultitudes,
  I am sorry to inform you this, but when you delete a blog, it address is reserved and cannot be used by anyone again(not even by the owner). This is done to keep your blog from being impersonated by someone else.

  You can read more about it here:

  So my suggestion would be to go with a new address.

  Thanks.
