  I have two blogs I am not using. How can I give them back??

  You don’t I afraid. Once a blog is generated, that’s all there is. If you delete it, it’s gone and can’t be reused.

  Thanks for the thought though.

  Or…
  Make an entry saying you will give them away.
  Make sure comments are open
  Make sure you will get an email when comments are left.
  Then just wait and see.

  Someone will ask….

  Had forgotten about that…

  What’s the blog anyway? Maybe someone will see this thread.

  Giving accounts away goes on everywhere, but I think most places frown on it because the person who’s getting it second-hand hasn’t had to register their own email address with the provider or agree to their ToS.

  There’s also the question of whether the original and therefore official owner of the account remains liable for any dodgy content posted there. Or whether they have the right to demand return of the account if they decide they want it back. Even if I really wanted the username, I would probably steer clear.

  It’s not a username being given away, though. It’s a URL. The receiver still has to be a wordpress.com user (signed up and agreed to the ToS).

  It’s fairly easy to reassign a username as well though.
