  I accidently set up a blog for a friend under my profile, and was wondering how I can get them their own profile.

  They need to signup for an account and you then need to transfer them the blog. (See the FAQ for how to do that)

  Thanks Mark. We tried that, but it says the email address is already taken.

  Does your friend have another address they can use? That might be the best option, a disposable Gmail address or something like that. You might be able to change it to something else once you’ve created the account.

  Another thing you could do is to keep the blog on your profile, but give your friend user access to it. They would sign up as a user, and then be able to post and even have admin privileges within the blog; it’ll be their blog, just technically under your name.

  How do I add more authors / users to my blog? [screencast]

  If the email address is already taken, then they already have an account. Transfer the blog to that account using the FAQ instructions:
