  I have renamed the address of my wordpress blog thinking the old address would link back to the new one. Now when I enter my old address it brings up a site not found. I have cards printed with the old address so I need to revert but can’t see how. Please help!

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

  Deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made except for the one stated at http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/.

  You can register another .wordpress.com URL and then purchase an upgrade plan so you can map to an existing domain.

  Register another .wordpress.com blog http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/

  Purchase a domain mapping upgrade knowing it does not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is when you are domain mapping.
