  how do I change back to my old address?

  by going through the same method they prompt me that the address is alrdy existing. (which the old one is still under my account) (I did not dispose of it earlier)

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

  I just want to make sure I understand: You changed your address to venicengmakeup.wordpress.com, but you did not discard the old address, in other words, it also still appears on your “My Blogs” page? So you have two blogs on your account – the old one AND the new one?

  Then you won’t be able to simply change it back. If you want the content moved back to the old blog you’ll have to do so yourself by exporting everything from the new blog and then importing it to the old/original blog. Keep in mind this will not delete the content from the current blog – if you want it removed there you’ll have to delete everything yourself.

  Here are the instructions for exporting and importing content:

  Depending on how much content you have the import could take a while, so be prepared to wait a bit for that to complete.
