    I am the one setting up my husband’s site because I am slightly more tech savvy than he is, which is really not a whole lot! So right now, everything is in my name and under my email address. When I am done, I am turning it over to him, because it will be his blog, and I will want to change the account name and email to his info. Will there be a problem when I do that?

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

    …I will want to change the account name and email to his info. Will there be a problem when I do that?

    Not a problem. The account Email Address may be changed at Account Settings. It’s not clear what you mean be “change the account name.” I don’t think you want to change the username, because wouldn’t that be your username? Or is it just a dummy or disposable username?* If it’s not a disposable username, you might want to have your husband start an account, and then transfer the site to that account. See the Transferring a Site to Another WordPress.com Account support page for instructions.

    _______________________
    * If so, you can change the username as described in the Change Your Username support page.
