    It seems we can’t find what you’re looking for. Perhaps searching can help.

    The blog is empty. Did you know that as soon as you publish a post not a page the error message will be gone? http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/

    Deleting a site permanently removes it and you’ll never be able to reuse its WordPress.com address:
    http://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/
    Deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made.

    You can make the blog private instead of deleting it. To change blog visibility to public from private go to > Settings > Reading and select option 3.

    All you were required to provide to register an account here was an email address that can be replaced at any time.

    Any personal information that you voluntarily posted can also be removed at any time.

    Although username accounts are not deleted, so you cannot be impersonated and have your reputation affected by anyone registering the same username in the future, there are steps you can take that amount to removing all personal information and result in leaving only a throwaway email address behind. http://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/

    1. You can go to My Account->Edit Profile and remove all data except the account name and an email address. Create a throwaway email address and change the account email to that throwaway address. This only leaves the username behind.

    2. To unsubscribe from email sent to you from WordPress.com, go here and click on “Block all subscription emails from WordPress.com”:

    3. To ensure the account is locked up tightly, visit this site, generate a password of 15-20 characters, and change the account password to it:

    4. To hide your Gravatar profile, please read “How do I hide my profile?” section of the help page: http://en.gravatar.com/site/faq/#answer-1-8
