Reaching unused account

    I’ve created a blog, but was hoping for a different ID. Unfortunately, the ID I wanted was taken. I don’t have a problem with that per se. My issue is that the ID was created in 2006, but has no entries and hasn’t been touched since it was opened. Is there any way to get in touch with the account owner and ask if they’d be willing to give up the name? I can’t seem to find a way to contact him/her. How would I go about it?

    Cheers!

    You can register another WordPress.com subdomain URL and purchase a domain name and domain mapping. If you do purchase your own domain and domain mapping then it won’t matter what the root blog WordPress.com subdomain URL is.
