  When I created my WordPress account a year or two ago, I did so under tapaseaswar.wordpress.com, however I wasn’t using it at the time, so I deleted that account. Now that I want to use WordPress, I’m finding that I am unable to reclaim that address since it has been deleted/your servers claim that it is already in use.

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

  Sorry, once a URL is deleted, it’s gone forever.

  If it was a name you were really fond of, another option would be to buy the domain (if it’s available) and map it to your blog.
