  http://kellyraebooks.wordpress.com doesn’t exist.The address kellyraebooks.wordpress.com cannot be registered. Sorry, that site is reserved!

  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 that 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.

  If you want to change the .wordpress.com blog address ie. the URL starting with http:// then you must be logged in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog to do that and the URL you desire must be available. If so, then you can change the URL by using this guide
