  I want to restore my blog, nurturingneedles. However, I cannot do so, because I get the message that the name has already been taken. I AM Kathleen Banfield!

  https://nurturingneedles.wordpress.com is no longer available. The authors have deleted this site.

  Deleting any .wordpress.com blog URL is not easily done and what you ask to do is not possible. https://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/

  One has to ignore at least three warnings stating that deletion is permanent and irreversible and then click a verification link in an email to delete a blog. That’s because deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made. http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

  You can register another .wordpress.com blog http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/

  Then if you wish to you can register a domain via a domain mapping upgrade because it does not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is when you are domain mapping.
