  sometime ago I registered at wordpress.com with braintrail.wordpress.com but never created a blog. Now that I want to create a blog it shows me I can’t create braintrail.wordpress.com as it’s already taken (sure by me) now how can I solve that???

  Hi braintrail,

  It looks like that blog was registered at some point but then deleted from WordPress.com. Once an address is deleted it can no longer be used. You can read about some of the reasons here.

  Sorry I didn’t have a different answer for you.

  Hello braintrail,

  Did you at some point delete braintrail.wordpress.com? If you did, I suggest you can make another one but with a different blog address or you can buy a custom domain like braintrail.com if it’s available.
