Solution:

Dashboard-->My Blogs--> This will take you to a different screen.
On My Blogs screen, move your mouse over the "transfer blog" option. Click it and read carefully the information. A red screen with some confirmation text will apper.

Then, I made it private because I had to organize categories and more than 217 posts. I also changed its address from "example.wordpress.com" to "theexample.wordpress.com".

After doing that, I tried to start another wordpress.com blog with the address "example.wordpress.com", but I couldn't.

I have read on the Support's site: <i>If you find that a blog address is registered by another user, you may be able to obtain it for your use if the owner of the blog agrees to transfer it to you. You may contact the blog owner – via a comment on their site or through a contact form, if available – to ask for their consent. If you do not get permission, or do not hear back from the blog owner, we cannot transfer the blog address to you.</i>

Maybe it is a stupid question, but... how do I transfer the previous address (created by me) to myself? u_u

Can anybody help me?

Thank you for your time.

But please help my situation.

I currently blog on chuwey.wordpress.com and want to change the blod address to ladymongrel.wordpress.com

But I previously already made ladymongrel.wordpress.com and write some project there. The project did not work well. so its stop.

Could anyone suggest me the best and correct way to do it.
I am not sure if i had to delete the ladymongrel.wordpress.com first since it said i will can not use it again.

Thank you very much!

Is alive but unused - you need to contact the owner and ask them to transfer it to you - leave a comment or use a contact form if there is one on the site -

If the owner can't be contacted you are out of luck - WordPress.COM will not give out contact info for any blog
