  i have two separate accounts.. well let’s name them account a and account b. rather than putting the other (b) as the author of the blog, i changed the other one’s username (a) so that i could claim it with my other account (b).. however when i try to change (b) my desired username (a’s old username), it tells me that it isn’t available even if no one’s really using it. when i try to visit the site, nothing can be found so i wonder can’t i use that username. any explanation why?

  User name changes are permanent and do not make the old user name available for anyone else to use.
