    Hi all…
    I just set up a blog this morning, but, am running into some problems. When I initially registered the blog (call is myblog_A) I used my personal email address during the setup. I started to rethink this and decided to convert the email address to my business address since this will be an blog for my business. I want to now add myself and a few others as contributing authors. When I go to add myself as a user (using my personal email address), it won’t allow me to generate an account. I tried to “invite” myself as a contributor, but, when I go through the registration process to set up a new account, it tells me that the email address I am inserting is already in use so, I’m not having much luck.

    I am using the email of my business for the admisistrator of the blog, and just want to add myself and some others as contributors. Is there a way for me to do this now that it seems my personal email address is stored somewhere in the system?

    Would appreciate any guidance! :)

    Thanks…

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

    It is stored in two places. On the settings > general page, and then in your profile at users > your profile. The one under settings > general is the “admin” email.
