  I want to create a blog called Yellow Pearl, but ‘yellowpearl.wordpress.com’ is reserved. WordPress says ‘yellowpearls.wordpress.com’ already exists, but when I checked it had been deleted. Is there anyway I can contact whoever has reserved the use of these names?

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

  There might be, but WordPress.com itself can’t help with that. How are your detective skills?

  It doesn’t matter anyway, because deleted blog URLs are never reinstated. I’ve answered three threads about this today alone.

  Cheers guys, as its been deleted I can’t think of any way to contact the owner. Thanks for your help though.
