  I started a blog using another email address. The username was shakhanb. I deleted that user name and replaced it with another one. Then I transfered to this blog which has another email address. However the username shakhanb is now unavailable within seconds. I want the first username. How do I get it back?

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

  Once you change your username you will not be able to change it back and the old name will not be available for you or anyone to use. http://en.support.wordpress.com/change-your-username/
