  I want to obtain “shewroteit.wordpress.com” and when I try to register, WordPress says that name is “reserved.” But no one is using it. What does that mean? How can I get it? How do I reserve a URL on WordPress?
  Blog url: http://shewroteitdotcom.wordpress.com/

  Hi there,

  When someone registers a username at WordPress.com, the matching blog address is automatically reserved for their future use.

  You’ll need to register an available blog address:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/

  Your other option would be to register a custom domain for your blog. You can register any available domain name, regardless of the underlying .wordpress.com address:
