    I want to use the address “mbedded.wordpress.com/” but the authors have deleted the page. Is there any way to get the address of this deleted page for my own blog?

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

    Hi mbedded1,

    It depends if the blog is permanently deleted or not, and it appears that the site you linked has been permanently deleted.

    Im sorry to inform you but it wont be possible to use that blog.

    Check out this WordPress document on recycling blog URLs
    If you find that an active blog address is registered by another user, you may be able to obtain it for your use if the owner of the blog agrees to transfer it to you. You may contact the blog owner – via a comment on their site or through a contact form, if available – to ask for their consent. If you do not get permission, or do not hear back from the blog owner, we cannot transfer the blog address to you. Please note that we cannot contact the owner of the previously deleted blog for you, nor can we provide you with the contact information of blog owners. – http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

    This indicates that if you can leave a comment on their site maybe u can get it transferred, but the site you linked clearly has no way of doing this, and says it has been deleted which means its gone forever. Sorry :(

    No, there is not. For $18 a year you could get a custom domain like mbedded.com or .org or whatever.

    You cannot register any deleted blog URL under any account period. To prevent accidental or inadvertent deletion of blogs, there are multiple warnings given that blog deletion is permanent and irreversible. Lastly, a verification link is sent in an email and it must be clicked to delete a blog. If clicking that link does not work then copy and paste it into your upper browser window and click. Once the verification link for deletion is clicked the blog URL is forever gone, gone, gone.

    Deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made.

    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.
