  I want to create a new blog with the title workingmanshero.wordpress.com however, it says the site is already being used. When I try typing the URL in, it says that the authors deleted the site. I’m also having the same trouble with IsraelShamir.wordpress.com . This is my name which is pretty unique, and I might have created this in the past and I’d like to use that name as well.

  Is there any way that I can get control and use these names please?

  Thank you,

  Israel Shamir

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

  I’m sorry but deleted blog URLs are not recycled here and you can confirm by reading:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/delete-blog/

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

  Or you can register a domain vis a domain mapping upgrade and it will not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is.
