  Is possible to recycle a WordPress URL? I have deleted my blog, but I want to use the same URL for the new one. I understand that I’m not able to get a URL from blogs that heave been deleted by other users, but in this case the URL was associated to me. Can I recover it? Sorry for the english and thanks in advance.

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

  Hello there,

  I am sorry but that is not possible. It’s unfortunate that you ignored all the warnings and deleted the URL. You cannot register any deleted blog URL. One has to ignore at least three warnings stating that deletion is permanent and irreversible and then click a verification link in an email to delete a blog. http://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/ Once clicked the URL is gone forever.

  Deleting a site permanently removes it and you’ll never be able to reuse its WordPress.com address (such as yourgroovysite.wordpress.com).

  That’s because deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made. http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

  You can register another .wordpress.com blog here 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.
