added new blog, want diff. user name
-
I have one blog that has existed for about a year. I do not want to remove it. I have just started another blog, on a different subject matter, and do not want the username to read as same name as 1st blog, but it does.
Do have have to delete the new one and start over? -
No. This is what I found using the Search box at the top of the forum:

I, too,would like to know the answer to this. I contacted WP support with a related question but from what I understand, you may have to create another account with another email address and then transfer your blog to that new account. Please don’t quote me on this. I think they will tell you, though, don’t delete the blog – it’s permanent, and that blog name can never be used again. Here is the link they sent me, it may be of use to you.

I will check back here to see if you get an answer. If you’re like me, you’re anxious to get started on your new blog. -

Hi raincoaster,
I read the link that you posted. I dont want to transfer my blog to another person, I want a different user name for my new blog.Blog #1 is novip.wordpress.com… I want to leave blog and username as is.
New blog,
Blog #2 HelpCopeHope.wordpress.com I do not want to post there as novip. I want a different username to post under.Thanks for trying :)

You make up a new identity. WordPress doesn’t care if that person is you or not. But yes, you need a new email for every username.

K. I thought I did everything to establish the new blog with a new account, new email all that. But I posted a new comment to test the new blog and my old identity (username and picture) showed up. Thoughts on this? I would rather not have to resort to another blogger program. WordPress is my first choice.
-
You were signed in under the old name. You have to sign out as that identity, then sign in as a different identity.

Raincoaster,
Sheesh, I think I was thinking too hard. Thank you sooo much. Can you leave this topic active a little longer? I plan to start working on the new blog over the weekend. I hope not to have any issues, but just in case? Again, Thanks!
Good luck w/ the new blog, No VIP. (thanks for letting me share this topic with you…) -
I think only the original poster or staff can set it to resolved. Even if it says resolved, you can always check back or do a search for threads related to your problem.

Ok. So I log in to my new account. Post on my new blog. I logged out and logged back in to my old account. The title on my dashboard is showing the title of the new blog (aaarrggh) and my new post on my new blog is showing as my recent post. I thought that if I was logged into one account only that activity would show on my page. I’m not organized enough to deal with all that in one place. I’ve obviously done something wrong.
Also, I’m pretty sure I need to delete my old identity on my new User page, but with all this cross-whatevering going on, I’m scared. -
Happy to report, I think I got a handle on the whole deal. Thanks so much for your help.
-
You’re welcome. Yes, deleting things is a bit scary and the only solution is to take it slow and methodical.
-
That’s me, slow and methodical… I believe you’ve given me all I need to go on and I appreciate it more than you know.
I’d say we’re [x] Resolved.
