  I am trying to change the url of my blog. I registered the new blog name url because I thought that’s how to do it, but now when I try to change the url to the new one, it says the new url is already registered so I cannot. What should I do?

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

  Is this the guide you followed? http://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/
  What are the two URLs involved?

  Unfortunately I didn’t find that guide until it was too late. The two URLs I have registered are xt600e.wordpress.com and elaineou.wordpress.com

  I’ll flag this thread for Staff attention. Please be patient while waiting as this is a 4 day long weekend and they may not respond immediately.

  You won’t be able to change your blog’s URL to an existing blog’s URL, but you can transfer your content following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#moving-between-wordpress-com-blogs
