Nowhere, man
I have come up with the ideal name for my blog. Only problem is someone already has it. A guy created it in 2005 but never posted anything to it, never created a profile, and probably has never visited it in two years. Basically, the blog is empty except for the name.

Is this the kind of case where someone would sell you the name for a million dollars if you found out who owned it? Is there any way I can get this blog declared null and void?

On the other hand, this was at Blogger. Can I go to some other free blog site and use this name if it's available?

Can you vary the name very slightly with a hyphen, extra space or punctuation mark? Or a slight creative mis-spelling, that can actually help in giving your blog a separate 'brand'.
