  I have a feeling I reserved a domain name at one point in time for wordpress. I keep trying to change my current site, which I thought I had deleted, to the name I now use for business (my personal name) but it says it’s “reserved” How can I find out if I was actually the one who reserved it? How do I access?

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

  “Reserved” means it is the blog address is the same as a registered username (for instance, andrewcpht.wordpress.com could only be used by myself, so it is reserved for me).

  To use the blog url that is reserved, you must be logged in as the same username. If you did not create that username, then it means someone else has “reserved” the blog address.

  Thanks. I just have a feeling I was the one who reserved this, either through godaddy, or a while ago in wordpress. Just can’t remember what email I used and not sure how to track it.
