I am trying to get the newsoftheday2 username to use for newsoftheday2.wordpress.com. I am using chayes19 as the username for newsoftheday2.wordpress.com at the moment

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

You would have to sign up for a new account (without a blog) with that username and then add that new user as an administrator on the blog.

If someone else is using it, you can’t have it. Pick another name.

If the system says the username exists than the username exists and there is no way you can have it. Period.
