  I want to change my account URL.
  my title is ‘screwtapewarrior’ but in the url there is an extra ‘com’ so it became: screwtapewarriorcom.com.

  when i changed it to screwtapewarrior it said the site is reserved (it is a site by someone else?)
  i think i may have made that site before and not activated it. HOW CAN I CHECK THIS?
  thanks.

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

  what does “this site is reserved” mean?
  ..
  either its an account or it isnt, because the url doesnt lead to any page.
  I suspect that i might have created this site and didnt activate it

  is there any way to find out what email is linked to this account:
  screwtapewarrior.wordpress.com

  Hi –

  To access screwtapewarrior.wordpress.com you’ll need to sign in to the screwtapewarrior user account.

  When a username is registered the corresponding site address is reserved for that account only. This effort is to help prevent impersonation where someone else could pretend to be you.
