  A user of a site has agreed to release his wordpress.com site to me. He says he has removed the site from his account. However, it is still showing up as not available. How can I go about gaining access to the site to add to my blog?

  Thanks!!

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

  What is the URL of the site they have “released”?

  Thanks, studio5waters. I’ve reached out again to the original owner of the domain to see if he will transfer it. Hopefully it works out. Thanks again!
