  I would really like to have “misspinup.wordpress.com” as my adress… But it’s taken. So I checked what kind of blog it was.. and it was completely empty and the first, default post was from 2008…

  Any special reason why the adress is still held up with that blog..?

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

  Blog addresses aren’t recycled under any circumstances, I’m afraid, no matter how long it has been inactive or deleted, an whether there’s content on the site or not. http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

  You only option to try and get that address is to leave a comment asking the current owner if they would transfer the blog to you, and then hoping they are still getting notifications from that blog.

  You can also try to register a custom domain with the address you want: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/register-domain/

  I see. Well, I think I’ll just keep this one then. It has the same meaning, just in a completely different language. c:
