  Currently my blog is titled Rouge Canvas. I am passionate about art, fashion and makeup therefore when brainstorming blog names ‘Canvas’ struck a cord with me. Someone else already has that site name however, though they have not been active since 2006. Therefore, is there anyway that I can reserve the site name ‘Canvas’ for myself. I am passionate about writing and would like the perfect platform to do so.

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

  https://canvas.wordpress.com/ is an unused wordpress.COM site.

  There is no expiration date on any on .wordpress.com blog urls unused, reserved or otherwise.

  Note that in these cases the blog’s owner rarely responds to comments or to contact information.

  Moreover, Staff will not breach the privacy policy and provide you with an email address.

  If there is no response you can register another .wordpress.com blog http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/

  Then if you wish to you can register a domain via a domain mapping upgrade because it does not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is when you are domain mapping.
