Blog Domain Taken
-
I am looking to begin a new blog, but the blog domain I would like is taken from back in 2010. It doesn’t appear to be active (in fact, it appears nothing at all has been done except for activating it), and yet it hasn’t expired. I read somewhere that blog domains that are not renewed expire after a year, but I can’t seem to find out what’s going on with this specific one. Any help would be fantastic! Thanks so much.

Whatever you read is not applicable to free hosted WordPress.com blogs – period.
There is no expiration date on blogs unused, reserved or otherwise. If you can make contact on your own with the owner of an unused blog via a contact form or commenting, then providing the are agreeable there is a means of a consenting blog owner to transfer the blog to another username account. http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-user-or-account
In the case that there is no contact information Staff will not breach the privacy policy and provide you with an email address.
If you are not successful, you can register another blog with a similar name. http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/
Or you can register a domain via a domain mapping upgrade and it will not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is.
