  Hello all
  I’m currently trying to start up a new blog, and I very much wanted one with the name “speakerscorner.wordpress.com” but unfortunately it was already used. I got curous about what it contained though, so I decided to check it out. As it turns out, it has apparently been deleted by its creator. What I am wondering is if there isn’t any way for me then to take it over so to say.
  Thanks in advance.

  Deleted blog URLs are not recycled here. Confirm by reading:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/delete-blog/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

  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.
