The address chefaniebakes.wordpress.com cannot be registered. Sorry, that site is reserved!
You can’t have chefaniebakes.wordpress as ‘wordpress’ isn’t a valid extension, https://wordpress.com/support/domains/domain-pricing-and-available-tlds/ -

i know, i “reserved” it because i signed up with another account (email visible only to moderators and staff). but i got confused because i thought i used ‘cheffybakes.wordpress.com’ , then i thought i can deleted the whole thing and start afresh. but now ‘chefaniebakes.wordpress.com’ is ‘reserved’

Hi there,
Reserved addresses can only be registered by the matching username. So only the account with the username,
chefaniebakes, can register the address,chefaniebakes.wordpress.comIt looks like you’ve deleted the
chefaniebakesaccount completely. When you did that, we sent you a confirmation email. Please reply to that and request that the account is reopened.Once the account is reopened, you can then register chefaniebakes.wordpress.com, and then transfer ownership of the site to your
chefaniehomebakesaccount.https://wordpress.com/support/transferring-a-site-to-another-wordpress-com-account/

This is how a site would be transferred from one account to another: https://wordpress.com/support/transferring-a-site-to-another-wordpress-com-account/
I hope this helps.

Your screen shot shows you’re on the page to change the address of the existing site in your account. That won’t work, as your account still doesn’t have the ability to register the address,
chefaniebakes.wordpress.comLog out of the
chefaniehomebakesaccount completely, and log back in as thechefaniebakesaccount that we undeleted for you.Once you’re logged into that account, go to https://wordpress.com/start and follow the steps to create a new site with the address,
chefaniebakes.wordpress.comin that account.If you want
chefaniehomebakesto own the site in the end, then follow the steps at https://wordpress.com/support/transferring-a-site-to-another-wordpress-com-account/ to transfer ownership of that new site fromchefaniebakestochefaniehomebakesoh ok i think i got it. i cannot transfer my existing page from chefaniehomebakes over to chefaniebakes right? i have to re-do the entire page?
Correct, you won’t be able to change the address of
chefaniehomebakes.wordpress.comtochefaniebakes.wordpress.com. The only way to usechefaniebakes.wordpress.comis to create a brand new site at that address, while logged in as thechefaniebakesusername.Let us know if you run into trouble with any of these steps :)

Oh, hang on. It looks like you’ve already created https://chefaniebakes.wordpress.com/ and transferred it to this account.
So you can ignore everything but the last paragraph from my last reply :)
