My Blog was deleted – Had since 2009
-
It was located at tonyajarrett.wordpress.com
“is no longer available. The authors have deleted this site.”That is not likely as I just looked at it a couple of months ago.
The email associated with the account is (email visible only to moderators and staff)
The name of the blog was Lit Flick CritAll I did today was change the password and I was no longer myself at WordPress. I find this very bizarre as I know I wouldn’t have deleted it. Any help appreciated.

How many Admins do you have?
Only one Admin per site is recommended https://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator
re: hacked accounts and blogs
If anyone is posting anything to your blog or removing anything from it, or changing anything in it, or if your blog has been deleted and you did not delete it, then it’s most likely that you have provided them with the ability to do so, either deliberately by adding them as official users, or by allowing them access to your login information, or by posting content that makes it easy for them to guess what your log-in information is.
For you the question that needs to be answered is: Who, aside from me, has access to my login information?
Go to your email program immediately and change the password to a very difficult one because that’s how many hackers gain access to blogs.

You can also reset your password via your Settings tab on the WordPress.com home page:
http://wordpress.com/#!/settings/Use a secure, encrypted connection to connect to your Dashboard. Under Users → Personal Settings, check the box that says “Always use HTTPS when visiting administration pages, and click Save Changes.
Use two step authentication http://en.support.wordpress.com/security/two-step-authentication/
Run a security scan on your computer. See here to run a security scan http://geekflare.com/online-scan-website-security-vulnerabilities/
Never leave your computer logged into your blog and walk away from it. Always log out properly.
I was wondering if it was possible to restore posts or the site that were deleted.
The answer to that is no Staff will not restore content. You may be able to use Googles cached docs to copy paste content into new posts and pages. You may be able to use Internet Archives Wayback Machine to do the same.

Hi tonyaj1,
It was located at tonyajarrett.wordpress.com
“is no longer available. The authors have deleted this site.”The site address for tonyajarrett.wordpress.com was changed by the owner and the old address discarded (see step 7) — so it won’t be possible to restore tonyajarrett.wordpress.com.
You will need to login as tonyaj57 to access the renamed site and its content.
Come back to me if you have any questions.

That did it! I’m not sure what I did but I did not think I deleted the blog. Thank you so much.

You’re very welcome! The blog was renamed to thespian12.wordpress.com but you should be able to access it from the account you are logged in to now :)
