can anyone tell me how to stop the user name from carrying over to page two and prepopulating in the blog address field of the registration process.
for example on page one, you create your user name, and when you get to page two, where you would have the option now to put in the blog name you want it prepopulates with the user name you created on the previous page. I would rather have this field blank so the person registering will know they have to put in the name they want for their blog.
currently it is confusing and people are assuming they don't need to put anything in since it is prepopulated then they are ending up with a blog name they didn't want.

A quick aside. Your use of "blog name" is actually what wpmu calls a blogurl. Blog name is, for example of one of my test blogs, to be "Yet another text blog..." while the blogurl is http://drmike.edublogs.org
To be honest though, since with wpmu (username = blogurl) and all of the built in checks are there, it;s probably not going to happen. The only real work around would be to remove the option of creating a blog during user creation and then allowing it after the user account is created.
Hi, I am having the same problem and just checked my wp-signup.php but there are two occurences of value="'.$blogname.'" (not on line 69) so do I remove them both?

I'm still wondering if this is a good idea because the software does reserve the blogurl of a blog user if they choose not to create a blog during signup.
vegasbrit,
I actually took them both out, line 70 and 72
drmike, It works for me because I removed the username option. I only want people signing up for a blog. I have no need that I can think of at the moment for users only.

If you don't mind making a hack you can just remove the following from line 69 of wp-signup.php:
value="'.$blogname.'"
The alternative is to us a plugin to clear the box on page load with JS.
Thanks,
Andrew

Hey Tony thanks, I'll give it a shot. How did you remove the username option by the way? I have no need for users only either!

Vegasbrit,
I commented out lines 257 and 258 in wp-signup.php
