   Hi everybody !
   I have two small questions for you...
   (Sorry, my english isn't perfect)

   I have deleted my blog and I would like to reopen it... Is it possible ?

   I would like to understand why I can find my old pictures on the net even though they were deleted ?

   Thanks for your help...

   My friends can see them on internet...
   For exemple :
   http://images.google.fr/images?q=lylibellule.wordpress.com&ndsp=20&svnum=10&hl=fr&lr=&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:fr:official_s&start=0&sa=N&filter=0
   and they are numerous...
   I also can find pictures wich cames to my old blog (which is deleted!)
   I'm surprised !

   I'm misunderstanding. The blog you're pointing at is not deleted but is active.

   Those thumbnails that you are seeing are within Google's cache. Some of them that I click through do turn up as 404s and I'm assuming that's what you're asking about. Google doesn't do things overnight. Give them a few months and they'll be removed from their database.

   Hope this helps,

   The pictures you deleted were deleted from your blog and not from Google's cache. Google keeps images in a cache for months on end. It can be 7 or even 8 months before they get around to clearing their cache. Not to worry - this is common practice for them.

    5 months does seem alike a long while but it wouldn't surprise me.
