***I want the version with the hyphen in it: http://the-gec.wordpress.com***

When I built the other one (listed above), that's what I thought I was using. I want the one with the hyphen so it matches my website. I would then, if possible, move what I have over to the correct version of the blog name. If not possible, I'll just start over (and delete the one without the hyphen).

It's only possible to get a reserved .wordpress.com blog if you registered the matching WordPress.com username. Not to worry as I have flagged this thread for Staff attention. Please be patient while waiting for them to sort this for you.

However, when I try to change this, I receive a message saying the desired name has been reserved. BUT, I believe I am the one who reserved it! My guess is that I have two accounts - can you help? Sorry for being so lost! Andrea Edmundson
