  I am having a hard time updating my blog names. I mistakenly deleted the name I needed, hoping to correct an issue. I’ve created these mssharlee, mssharlee, and mssharlee11 accounts but its all wrong. http://mssharlee1.wordpress.com/ is supposed to be mssharlee.wordpress.com and http://mssharlee.wordpress.com/ is supposed to be jussharlee.wordpress.com. The others should be deleted. Can you help me with this?

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

  http://jussharlee.wordpress.com

  jussharlee.wordpress.com is no longer available.
  The authors have deleted this site.

  You won’t be able to use that url

  You can delete the other blogs, but it’s safer (in case you want to use them in future, or as test blogs if you want to change themes) to just set them to private.

  You can choose a similar name for the jussharlee site, then export the contents from mssharlee to it. Then export the contents of mssharlee1 to mssharlee.

  As for the jussharlee blog you could purchase domain mapping so it would be jussharlee.com or .net or some other:

  You have been awesome! I was afraid of that. I will have to do the mapping, but I wanted to give the native name.

  The underlying name won’t be visible to your readers with domain mapping so it should be okay.

  Glad to have helped!
