  I tried to create a new account, but inadvertently entered the wrong email address. When I try to create the account again, it says that the name/address is reserved and may become available again in a few days. I’ve been trying to see if it’s available for well over a week now (probably more like 2) but it’s still showing as unavailable.

  Is there anyway of changing the email address that I entered, or getting the address unreserved?

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

  Hi there,

  If you log in to the account using the username tokyofirefly and the password you used to create the account, you can change the account email address from the account settings page. You’ll get a confirmation email at the new email address, and once you click the link in that email the account email address will be updated.
