  I started a blog that i never used back in 2010 using my real name. I completely forgot about it. Not I am trying to use it. It says that the site is reserved. Can you get me back to this blog.

  Are you logging into wordpress.com using the same account and same email address as before?

  What are you trying to do when you get the message that the site is reserved? Were you trying to access the previous blog url from a different, newer account?

  Here is some information on accessing your account, if you’re having trouble: Account Recovery

  Hi there,
  When we register a username account the matching blog is reserved for our future use. It cannot be obtained by anyone other than the person who has registered the matching username account.

  There is no expiration date on reserved blogs or on registered blogs that are unused.

  You own the matching username account and can log in as Admin under that account and register the blog. http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/

  @ lettergrade

  What are you trying to do when you get the message that the site is reserved? I just log out. I see the screen where it says create a blog. It says that I don’t have a blog yet but the one i created back in 2010 was my blog. Its not there anymore. I can create a blog again but this time i can’t create one using my name because of the site reserved message.

  I used the same account info and still my old blog is not showing at all. I am going to assume that I don’t own it anymore or someone else has the same name as me. i am not sure.

  No one else can register the same username you have here at wordpress.com. What is the URL you want to register please? I’ll tag this thread for a Staff follow-up. Please subscribe to the thread so you are notified when they respond and please be patient while waiting.

  It looks like you deleted your blog http://angelic81.wordpress.com/ three weeks ago with the reason “Its really old and I don’t use it anymore”.

  You can create a new blog at any time by going to http://en.wordpress.com/my-blogs/
