  I was trying to change and consolidate my blogs on wordpress. I renamed and then deleted edwardswartz.wordpress.com assuming I could set it back up. I have realized that this is not the case. How do I get that set back up or restored? Any helpnis greatly appreciated. It says that link is no longer available. Thanks!

  then deleted edwardswartz.wordpress.com assuming I could set it back up.

  It takes agreement to 3 warnings plus clicking a verification link in a confirmation email to delete a blog. All those warnings state deleting a blog is forever. Once a blog URL is deleted it cannot be recycled or reused by anyone. I’m sorry to say you are out of luck.

  No they will not and if they did I would be heading right on over and requesting the same service as I deleted a blog URL years ago that I would like to have back.
