  The tool should be back up eventually.

  If you really need to change your username now, you can register a new account, then transfer your blogs to it following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-user-or-account

  I appreciate the response. Unfortunately, to use with Yahoo (hosts my site), I must use the info@ for the email address, which generates the “already in use” error with WordPress. Vicious circle. Any idea when the tool will be back up?

  I would try checking back in within the next few days for the Change Blog Address/Username tool.

  In the meantime, you can always change the email address associated with your account at a later time via your Users -> Personal Settings page.
