  I accidentaly changed my blog address and username. I thought I was creating a new blog, but I wasn’t. I tried to go back to my original username and blog address and It says user is taken and address is reserved. Is it impossible to go back to my old username and blog address?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Is it impossible to go back to my old username and blog address?

  Yes, and yes. See the Recycling Blog Addresses support page for an explanation of the WordPress.com policy that disallows reusing addresses that have been deleted. The Change Your Username support page says:

  Once you change your username you will not be able to change it back and the old name will not be available for you or anyone to use. If you just want to show your name differently please only change your Display Name.
