  Hi everyone,

  I hope this isn’t a common question or something I’m just misunderstanding.
  I mistakenly created a user account without a blog, and when I try creating a blog with the address (“username” being, well, my username) username.wordpress.com it says it matches an existing username (my own, obviously) hence I cannot use it for my blog’s address.

  Is there something I’m not doing right or not getting or is this a support issue?
  Any help would be great,
  thanks
