  Hello. Earlier today, I deleted my craptastic first attempt at creating a blog with WordPress. I assumed it would be the fastest way to restart and get rolling. I am now ready to start a new one. I would like to use the same blog name and am told it is not available. Can you please advise?

  Unfortunately once you have deleted a blog, it is gone forever, and the URL is permanently unusable by yourself and any body else. There is no way to get this back, so you’ll need to register another blog with a similar name, or you can pay $18 a year a get a custom domain with the same name, but just without the .wordpress section.
