  Hi, I’m attempting to move my blog over from blogger. I wanted the URL simplyluxeblog.wordpress.com which isn’t being used but when I try to change my URL it says it is unavailable. Thanks for your help.

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

  Hi Patti,

  You can check for the availability of a blog address by typing in the URL into your browser. When you check https://simplyluxeblog.wordpress.com/, it is showing that the author deleted the site. Once a site is deleted, the domain will not be available for another 2 years. If you want to see if the blog address is eligible for recycling, you can visit https://wordpress.com/start/survey and see if it’s now available. For more information, you can visit this support page:

  Hope this helps!
