Could it be that someone at CBEUG registered that account back in Oct. 2011?

I need to host a blog under wordpress.com for my Not-For-Profit organization named CBEUG. I find the blog already taken, but it doesn't exist either. I would like to know what are the possibilities of getting that specific desired blog "cbeug.wordpress.com"

If you don't have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there and receive advice from WordPress.org bloggers.

Everywhere I go, I am told that it is supposed to be the same as my domain password, but nothing's working. Any and all help is very much appreciated, thank you!

The very strange thing is that early afternoon today my blog was showing the new post and it had been correctly publicized, a friend had even retweeted it, and it was showing as published under all posts. The stats even now show it had 7 views. Yet my blog has reverted back to showing the previous post and the post in question has reverted to being draft as of early Friday......... Which makes me think that WP had to do some form of recovery from a backup.

Go to Posts > All Posts, hover over the title of the post, click Edit and check the Post Revisions module for previous saved versions of the post. http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-revisions/

If you're not seeing the Revisions module while on the editor screen, click Screen Options (top right corner of your Admin page) http://en.support.wordpress.com/screen-options/ to activate it. Then select the post and page modules to include them. http://en.support.wordpress.com/modules/#list-of-modules Then you ought to be able to go here > Dashboard > All Posts > Posts and locate the post and recover it from post revisions.

If you cannot locate the post for locating and restoring a post revision, and it's not in your Trash folder http://en.support.wordpress.com/trash/ then you will not be able to recover it. http://en.support.wordpress.com/trash/#restoring-from-trash

Did you create your post on the dashboard of your own blog?
Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New

Or did you create your post on the front page of WordPress.com?
http://wordpress.com/#!/post/

Advice:
Create your posts on the dashboard of your own blog
Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New

Or use an offline blog editor so you always have backups on your own computer http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/

This is good news, I am really happy this has been done. Well done to all involved.

I know this already, that was not the issue I was raising.

What I wanted to know was when the UK would have access to the new functionality?

The UK has a population of 63 Million so I think we are more deserving than say the Bahamas (347K) or the Cayman Islands (56K)

Why are these well know tax havens served first???

You do have other ways to recover your account. Please see this Support doc for clarification:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/passwords/#lost-password

With the UK being such a large country, I thought it would have automatically been your 2nd choice for SMS Recovery after the US?

When will you be adding the United Kingdom to the list of countries that can use their mobile phone for Account Recovery?
