  Hello
  I’m now writing a post on my blog, in which i’m announcing everyone about the change of my blog address . the adress will also contain the domain wordpress.com in it’s link, and as far as i checked, the adress is still not registered, which is good.
  my problem is that i want to let some time (like a week) to pass, before i make the change in the adress and i’m afraid that someone will register my new adress before me and will somehow steal it from me.
  so my question is if i can somehow “book” the adress and change it in about a week or so?
  thanks in advance

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

  There is no such ability here. When we register a username account the matching blog is reserved for our future use. It cannot be obtained by anyone other than the person who has registered the matching username account.

  If and only if you have the matching username account then the blog is reserved for you and you will be able to log in appropriately and register it after logging in under the correct username account.
  https://signup.wordpress.com/signup/?user=1

  However, if you changed your username then the blog URL will not be available for use under the new username account.
