  You ask the friend to give you the blog’s url. There is no wordpress registry of usernames that you can access. WordPress does not give out private information and it’s our email addresses that are unique. http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/12/19/why-must-my-e-mail-address-be-unique/
  Also if you know the categories/tags your friend use you can also use the wordpress.com tag pages to try to locate the blog. But if their a friend then email and ask for the url because it will be the quickest way.

  I read teabags to find information….not that it works very often, but it freaks people out when they see it. lololol…..if that fails, the good old question is an alternate fall back solution.

  No. I suggested you google them or ask them. If they don’t want you reading the page, they just won’t tell you the name. They have that right.

  My geography lecturer gave me his url because he posts FAQs for work on there but it says it is private. How do I get around that? I am VERY new to all of this wordpress lark. Please help, it’s driving me insane all this silliness.

  He has to INVITE you via a form from his dashboard to read the blog. If he wants other people to read the blog, he shouldn’t make it private or he should be sure to invite everyone who needs to be reading it in advance.
