How to Reinstate a WordPress Blog

1. Sign up for a new WordPress account if you have deleted yours. Alternatively, install WordPress on the domain that you want to reinstate the blog to if you self-host. Whether you use a custom URL or a free 'myblog.wordpress.org' one, select a blog address that is identical (if possible) or close to the one you used for your deleted blog.
2. Log in to the WordPress Dashboard. Scroll to 'Tools' and select 'Import. Click the 'WordPress' option.

3. Click 'Choose File' and select the latest XML export. Click its name and select 'Open.' Press 'Upload File and Import.' WordPress notifies you after the import is complete.
4. View the blog in a separate browser window or tab to see your deleted blog, visible and reinstated.
