  Hello, I created a blog last October and decided to change the domain name. I also changed the username and just lost the old site. Any chance I can gain access to it again?
  Thanks
  Tim

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

  The final option presented on this screen allows you to discard your current address. This option will permanently disable the address and you will not be able to reuse it. Only select this option if you are sure you will not use the address again. If you want to redirect traffic to the new blog, you can keep the address and purchase the Site Redirect upgrade. http://support.wordpress.com/offsite-redirect/

  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.

  You must be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog’s dashboard.

  Clicking this link should display all your blogs registered under the same username, including the hidden ones: https://dashboard.wordpress.com/wp-admin/index.php?page=my-blogs&show=hidden

  If you do not see the blog here http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/ then

  If you have lost your log-in information you can visit https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword

  Your last resort for obtaining access is to complete the form for account recovery at this link https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery with as much information as possible and submit it to the Account Recovery Staff so they can contact you by email ie. not on these public support forums which are available to everyone with internet access.

  demarcoarts.com is a WordPress.ORG install. It’s not hosted here at WordPress.COM. There is no domain mapping upgrade for demarcoarts.com here. You did not p;urcvhase the domain through WordPress.COM and we do not provide support for it.

  demarcoarts.com is hosted by Colo4
  WHOIS
  IP Address: 143.95.81.210
  Name Servers:

  We provide support here only for WordPress.COM hosted blogs. We do not provide support for WordPress.ORG software and cannot help you.

  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there.

  Is THIS username the admin who registered that blog? I think you have to log out of this account and log back in to the account that controls that blog.
