As I said, "blogs created before a theme becomes retired aren't affected": that is, you go to Appearance > Themes and activate the theme the way you wold activate any other theme.

"Searching from http://theme.wordpress.com/ did not even generate a result for my theme name." Yes: retired themes are hidden from view in the Theme Showcase site. You can see them this way:

Eventually my theme came up, with the option to save and activate it. (It seemed that I had to do this several times; I don’t know why the option never appeared when I initially kept trying to switch back.)

Searching from http://theme.wordpress.com/ did not even generate a result for my theme name. The key seemed to be searching from the dashboard.

All drama has subsided.

My old theme, Vigilance, is retired, so I don't seem to be able to switch back!!

How can I undo this?? I've branded a logo to match the Vigilance theme.

Tears are about to ensue...
