    I tried to secure my domain name http://www.seasonsoffashion.nl (www.seasonsoffashion.wordpress.com).
    Unfortunately someone did do this already. Started in aug 2011, but since then it is not in use, nothing is happening, no website or anything else. By the fact that I want to make a website I need this, can you do anything for me so I can register it.

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

    When you are domain mapping it does NOT matter what the underlying .wordpress.com sub-domain URL is.

    There is no domain mapping upgrade for seasonsoffashion.nl. If you would like to use this domain you will first need to set up domain mapping. In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com subdomain blog to map from. If you have registered a .wordpress.com blog you log in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog and purchase a domain name by purchasing an annually renewable domain mapping upgrade for the blog.

    See here for mapping an existing domain that you already own http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

    Dashboard > Store > My Upgrades is where you do the primary blog set up knowing it can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.
