  Hi there. You can do this from either the My Sites page or the My Blogs page on the classic dashboard. Instructions here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/create-a-blog/#adding-new-site%C2%A0to-an-existing-account

  Thank you. This information is helpful for adding a new site to an existing account. However, I want to add an existing site to my existing account– “add an already existing blog to my account”. Let me know if you have any leads. Best and thanks again.

  What you can do is transfer WordPress.com hosted blogs registered under one username account to another.

  Every WordPress.COM blog has a sole owner and it is the person with the WordPress.COM username account who registered the blog under that username account and associated email address.

  You must be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog and purchased upgrades to renew them or transfer the blogs and the upgrades to another username account.

  To transfer a blog from one username account A to another username account B you must first log in under the username account A that owns the blog you want to transfer to the other username account.

  Then you add the other username account B as an Admin of the blog.

  user roles http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/

  Then you A can use this process to transfer the blog to that username account B instead http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-user-or-account

  Sorry, I misunderstood. Do you mean another WordPress.com blog currently in another account? You’ll need to log into that account and then transfer ownership via the My Blogs page in the classic dashboard. If you don’t own the blog in question then the person who created it must transfer it from their dashboard. Instructions for that are here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-wordpress-com-user-or-account

  Sorry about the overlap. I already had the answer in my browser from answering another thread so I pasted and clicked submit.
