  Yesterday I changed the blog name and address but today decided that was a bad decision and wanted to revert to the old ones.
  I have renamed the blog back to what it was, but can’t access the old blog address (solirev.wordpress.com). Does this become available at some time in the future or have I lost it? (Thesolitaryreview.wordpress.com isn’t available either).

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

  solirev.wordpress.com is no longer available.

  The authors have deleted this site.

  When you changed the name you would have been warned that it couldn’t be undone. What you should have done was just create an additional free site with the name of your choice (and transfer content to it if you wanted). Then you could have kept ownership of the original address in case you changed your mind.

  OK, I live and learn I suppose. I’ll see if I can find a version of the name that isn’t taken!
