Setting up a new blog with a name that WAS taken
-
The URL that I want is ‘ablebodied.wordpress.com’ – this is showing as unavailable. However when I visit this site it says it has been deleted. Can I then set up an active blog using this name? Can you help me do this? I currently have ablethumbed but it is inits infancy would like to move what I have been working on to this new domain.
Thanks in advance & look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,
Alice

That’s not possible – sorry.
1. The TLD or top level domain here is http://wordpress.com and that means that all free hosted blogs here are on subdomains.
2. Deleted blog URLs here are not recycled.

4. You can register another blog on a .wordpress.com subdomain with a similar name. http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/
5. Or you can register a domain vis a domain mapping upgrade and it will not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is.
