  Hi

  I accidentally renamed my existing blog:

  https://pierce.brwn.wordpress.com/

  to

  https://thepressmusicreviews.wordpress.com/

  and now need to change it back to : https://pierce.brwn.wordpress.com/

  I foolishly did not understand the repercussions.

  How can this be done?

  Any kind assistance would be much appreciated.

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

  Hi there,

  I was able to restore piercebrwn.wordpress.com and you can now transfer the contents from thepressmusicreviews.wordpress.com back to it by following this guide:

  @fstat recovered that address for you already, but if you wish to have there the content from thepressmusicreviews.wordpress.com, you will want to transfer the content as explained here:
