  I had earlier signed up for sagniksaha.wordpress.com, but deleted it soon, and removed everything (You can check that there’s no blog existing like it at the moment). Now I want to transfer my current blog to the same address, but it still shows as a reserved site! What’s the problem?

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

  Hi Sagnik,

  When you create a username (like sagniksaha), the matching blog address (sagniksaha.wordpress.com) is reserved for that user. If you change that username to a different one before creating the matching blog, that username and its matching blog address are no longer available for you or anyone else to use. Likewise, if you create that blog and then delete it, the address is permanently deleted and is not available for you or anyone else to use.

  However, you’re welcome to continue using your blog address sahasagnik.wordpress.com or change it to a different address that isn’t reserved.
