  You cannot access any blog and work on it unless you are logged in under the exact username account that registered the blog.

  How many username accounts do you have?

  Which username account are you logged in under?

  If you have more than one username account then are you logging out of one username account and clearing your browser cache and cookies before logging in under a another username account?

  Clicking this link should display all your blogs registered under the same username, including the hidden ones: https://dashboard.wordpress.com/wp-admin/index.php?page=my-blogs&show=hidden
  If you do not see the blog here http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/ then
  follow this guide > http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/#my-blogs-dashboard-visibility

  Thanks. I followed the instructions above, but still show no blogs (hidden or otherwise) under my dashboard. I tried to recreate the blog, but now receive an error message that my domain name has been taken ( which would have been by me approximately 30 min ago). Very frustrating.

  If I were to cancel my account would it automatically release the domain name? If so, perhaps I should delete my profile and start fresh?

  NO! Don’t do it. Blog deletion is irreversible and cures nothing!

  What is the URL starting with http:// for the blog in question?

  Is this it?

  nineletterfword.wordpress.com is no longer available.
  The authors have deleted this blog.

  If so, then be aware that deleting a URL is forever. There is no recycling of deleted blog URLs here.

  That is it. Thank you for your help! I think I will plan to create a new blog with similar web address and then transfer over the official domain name I purchased through Go Daddy. Would that be a solution?

  You can map from any .wordpress.com URL (it does not matter what it is) to a domain you already own. See here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  Hi there,

  I see you’ve set up your new blog – are you all set now, or do you have further questions?

  Cheers!
