  I’m trying to start a new blog, and have chosen several different names — but each time I’m told that name is taken. Yet when I surf to that URL, I’m taken to a page saying that site has been deleted — and therefore should be available to use. Please advise.

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

  Once a site name is deleted it is gone forever – you will need to pick a new name or buy a custom domain name and map it to a blog to cover up the base blog name
