  I reserved a new blog address while not logged in but didn’t finish the registration I thought… Now I am logged in and it says that it is reserved. How can I free that up again? I was trying to get aggiejoe.wordpress.com.

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

  When we register a username account the matching blog is reserved for our future use. It cannot be obtained by anyone other than the person who has registered the matching username account. That was done 5 years ago as you can see https://en.forums.wordpress.com/profile/aggiejoe If you have that username account then the blog is reserved for you and you will be able to log in appropriately and register it. However, if you changed your username then the blog URL will not be available for use under the new username account.

  This confirms that I am an idiot, yeah… that’s my account too. Completely didn’t realize I had that one. It’s been a long 5 years…

  I am. I appreciate the help, I could’ve sworn that it said it was available prior to me logging in though so that is what confused me. And the fact that I forgot I had ever created another account…
