  I tried changing my username and it said that this site already exists.

  What does that mean? Why can’t I change my username to fatemehfakhraie? I own them both.

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

  I’m sorry but blog names are the same as usernames for the most part. In most cases people register the username account first and then the matching blog URL is reserved for them. You did not do that. Usernames can be turned into blog names, but blog names cannot be turned into usernames. you won’t be able to register fatemehfakhraie as a username.

  Nuts. That’s really going to mess with my Google Authorship. :(
