   I wanted to setup a Blog at wordpress.org. When going through the registration process it say in step 2 that this blog is taken. But when I enter the Blogname choosen adding ".wordpress.com" I can see the blog. I even have my password for it and can log in.

   But, when I log in I don't see the "Dashboard" on left top part of the screen. Instead is says: "Claim your Blog". Clicking on this brings meback to the 2nd step of registration and if I say register, it tells me it's taken. So I am in a vicious cicle.

   I wrote to Support and there was an eMail exchange about it (3-4 mails). out of a sudden there is silence and I am hanging in the air with the problem described above. I wrote several times to the Support Team asking for a responce to my reply. But to no avail.
   PLS NOTE I: One thing puzzels me; the blog shows in the Header "a film blog?" Could this be the problem?
   PLS NOTE II: I have several other Blog at ".wordpress.org" and they all work perfectly.

   Has anyone an idea how I now have to proceed?

   Would apreciate your comments - thanks

   I think you're a bit confused.

   - wordpress.org does not do any webhosting and is run seperately from wordpress.com. You do not setup blogs there. You can download the software and find a host elsewhere for the wordpress software. They do not do any hosting.

   - I see a blog at http://duneblog.wordpress.com Is this yours? Is this the blog you tried to setup?
