  No one can possibly change a URL by accident. Changing a URL is not an easy process and it’s permanent and irreversible. http://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/

  I put in the current URL seeing if it was available, it obviously was. I got distracted by barking dogs, and my child took it from there.
  Thank you for the info I guess I’ll have to live with it or find something different.

  You have two blogs
  https://beversatile.wordpress.com/
  https://versatileeva.wordpress.com/

  The Site title (blog name) and/or the optional Tagline can be changed on the top of this page at any time. > Settings > General … “save changes”.

  That is exactly where search engine spiders look for the site title and removing it from there can cause issues with getting your content indexed. Note that the site title (blog name) and blog address URL do not have to be the same but it’s better for SEO (search engine optimization) if they are the same.

  All WordPress.COM blogs are public blogs unless or until their owners choose to change the privacy settings on the blog.

  All support docs are at http://support.wordpress.com
  Search for http://en.support.wordpress.com/?s=privacy+settings

  If you want to change blog visibility to Private on one of the blogs go to > Settings > Reading scroll to Blog Visibility and choose option 3 .

  Here are some basics I will share with you.

  re: front page error message foundon every new .wordpress.com blog

  Nothing Found
  It seems we cannot find what you are looking for. Perhaps try a search?

  There is nothing wrong with your site. By default the front page of the blog is the only page that will display all published posts on it. As soon as you publish a post not a page the front page error message and searchbox that appears on every new WordPress.COM blog will be gone. http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/

  For creating a post see here http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/#publish-a-new-post
  For creating a page see here
