If you do that then it doesn't matter what the URL is of the underlying .wordpress.com blog is.

Well i made this account a long time ago and i want to delete this one, to start a serious blog.
And i had a great name for it.... but when i want to create it, it says it's reserved....

Now have i been searching and came on his profile, he excist already since 2010 and still hasn't activated his link...
So is there any way to get his link, so i can use it?

Oh yeah sorry for my bad english!

Regards,
Robin
