  When you changed the URL of your site it was very clearly stated there would be no way back once you changed the URL. You even had to confirm you understood an agreed to the consequences. I short: you can’t return to the old URL.

  @machac667 did you change the blog name, or did you delete the blog and then start a new blog, with the new name? The difference is that if you deleted the blog it can be restored, within 30 days, but if you changed the blog URL for another, then that URL is gone and cannot be restored, as is clearly explained during the process, and you agreed to it.

  If you changed the one blog URL for another, then the old URL cannot be restored.
