  I previously had a blog with the address juliantrajan.wordpress.com and another blog with the address juliantrajan2.wordpress.com.

  I wanted to switch the two blogs so I changed juliantrajan.wordpress.com to –> juliantrajan3.wordpress.com. However, I was not able to change the address of juliantrajan2.wordpress.com to juliantrajan.wordpress.com. Can you help me with this?

  Thanks for your time!
  Blog url: http://juliantrajan3.wordpress.com/

  I’m sorry, but blog names can’t be reused – unless you chose to save the name before the renaming, the address juliantrajan.wordpress.com cannot be used again.

  Hi ranh,

  Thanks for your reply! For clarification, noone can ever use that address ever again?

  When blogs are deleted, which is what happens when you rename them, the address can never be used again. Note that this is mentioned during the rename process.
