  I’m wanting to obtain ‘samwood.wordpress.com’, which is a URL that hasn’t been used since 2007. Is it possible to get the address? Thank you for your time!

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

  Note that in these cases the blog’s owner rarely responds to comments or to contact information and there is no expiration date on .wordpress.com blogs unused, reserved or otherwise.

  Moreover, Staff will not breach the privacy policy and provide you with an email address.

  If there is no response you can register another .wordpress.com blog http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/

  Then if you wish to you can register a domain via a domain mapping upgrade because it does not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is when you are domain mapping.
