  I tried to change my wordpress’ name for “makefaces” but it’s said that this one already exists though I was unable to find one. Is there a possibility of a mistake?

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

  Yes, there is already a blog at http://makefaces.wordpress.com/ so you won’t be able to register that address. The only way to get that address is to leave a comment asking the owners if they would be willing to transfer it to you, but there’s no way to know if they’re even still monitoring comments for that blog.

  Otherwise you’ll need to register a different address, or see if the one you want is available to register as a custom domain: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/
