By accidentally deleting blogs are not rare occurrences as in the default BASIC tab for Blogger SETTINGS, the DELETE button is just below the SAVE SETTINGS button.
Previously, once you delete a blog, the blog URL become available for anyone to grab, and spammers have automated programs to quickly grab the URL of a deleted blog to use for spam blog (splog), taking advantage of any existing PageRank of a blog rather than starting from scratch. That was the reason for publishing this post - Why you should not delete a blog and what to do when you accidentally delete a blog or change the blog URL.
However, Blogger has wised up to this and now if you delete a blog, the blog URL is reserved for you to claim back later. So if you have accidentally deleted a blog, what you can do is to create a new blog using the old blog URL. Now I myself have not tried this when this was made known to me, and hope to do that one day and report the result at Testing Blogger Beta (now New Blogger). In the meantime, if you had accidentally deleted your blog, try this and please report the result by leaving a comment for everyone's benefits.
I have done this. I accidentally deleted my blog. I immediately re-created the same URL to protect it. As of yet I have no inclination that my blog was nabbed by spammers and such. It seems to have worked. I however; still am unable to contact blogger in any way for assistance. I've emailed support@ numerous times..politely...I've also filled out various contact forms found throughout the help sections and what not..many suggested via posts on your blog.
I hope someone o'er there somewhere listens..and contacts me and retrieves my blog..it is my lively hood..and this is just terrible.
