The past unrightly getting in the way of the present (x3)

    I once made a blog with in the url my name. When you type my name in google, you can find my blog. I changed the url so that my name is no longer in it. But now, when you type my name in google, you can still find my blog, you still encounter the url with my name in it, even tough the url actually does not ‘exist’ anymore – when you click on it you go to the correct url. I wonder wheter this google will ‘correct’ this; will the link on google ever dissappear – when? – for I want to detach my name from the blog…

    …and create a new one. So the e-mail adres for my old blog, say e-mail adress ‘a’, was changed by me into e-mail adress ‘b’. All went well. But when I created a new blog and wanted to use e-mail adress ‘a’ for my new blog, it said that e-mail adress ‘a’ is already in use! (While it actually isn’t, not anymore in anycase.) Will this ever change? (When?)

    Okay, these were my questions. Now I will say how the story ends, but this is for fun only, so you don’t need to read this in order to help me:
    so because I wanted to make the new blog immediately, I provisionally used e-mail adress ‘c’. But than I realised I mistyped e-mail adress ‘c’! So now the validation e-mail is send to an unexisting e-mail. So of course I tried to make the new blog anew, this time typing the correct e-mailadress. But guess what, when I typed the name and url, it said that the name and url is already ‘in the proces of being activated’, and that I have to wait a few days to see wheter the name to comes free or not. I guess when I have to use the url I have in mind I will have to wait a few days huh.

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

    We have no control over what appears in Google and it will take between 3 – 6 month until they flush their caches. Some search engines never flush their caches.

    But guess what, when I typed the name and url, it said that the name and url is already ‘in the proces of being activated’, and that I have to wait a few days to see wheter the name to comes free or not. I guess when I have to use the url I have in mind I will have to wait a few days huh.

    If that’s what it said then that’s the way it is.
