  Ever since i registered a blog with wordpress i have tried obtaining the domain “madsweet” or “madshweet” and both give me the same feedback that they are reserved blogs.

  Is there any ways around this? Or is there any time limit where someone who reserves a blog can create it before it expires?

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

  Once reserved a name is reserved – there is no time limit – some of the reserved names were for API keys to make Akismet work (anti-spam system) – no requirement to use a blog either. Your only chance is to somehow find the user and ask for them to create a blog with the reserved name then transfer the blog to you.

  The tough part is that WordPress.COM will not give you any information about the person or account.
