  Hi,
  I would like to create a new blog that woul be linked to my main blog RoyaumeStyleDeco as a sub-domain. As this new blog will target readers living in Barcelona, I would like to create the address “bcn-royaumestyledeco” or “royaumestyledeco-bcn”. Unfortunately, wordpress doesn’t seem to accept “-” symbol (dash) (an error message appears when I register the modifications). It seems strange as in the example given in the support pages at http://en.support.wordpress.com/set-up-a-multilingual-blog, the site lamaleva.com does have a “-” in its Spanish version.
  Could you tell how can I manage it?
  Thanks for your help.

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

  Sorry, but WordPress.com URLs cannot have hyphens/dashes (-) in them. :(

  However, if you register a domain name, you can definitely have hyphens/dashes in that. Here’s some information on using a domain with your WordPress.com blog –

  Hope that helped even a little. Do post again if you have other questions! :)
