  There are some good domain names out there – most of which haven’t been touched for 7 years – anyway I can get in touch with them to hand over the title?

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

  Are you referring to a .wordpress.COM subdomain address? If your answer is yes then the answer is no. There is no expiration date on .wordpress.com blogs unused, reserved or otherwise. If there is no contact information or you do not get a response to a contact form submission or to a comment on the site, Staff will not breach the privacy policy and provide you with an email address.

  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.
