  Hello,
  I have two blogs, one of which I never use and the other I regularly update. I’ve noticed that when I comment it links to the blog I never use, not hanwellnest (my main blog). I’ve made it the primary blog but does anyone know how to change the login so I’m commenting from the blog that people are reading.
  Thanks in advance for your help!

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

  If you have changed the primary blog linked to your username that ought to be the one that it’s linked to now. http://tarakings.wordpress.com/ Is that your primary blog on the Settings > General page or not?

  The link on your name is now going to http://tarakings.wordpress.com/ . You need to change this on your Profile page under Users. It will not change retroactively, though.

  Here’s how to do that. Dashboard -> Users -> Personal Settings -> then scroll down to Account Details. Then scroll down to where it says ‘Website‘ select the URL for your primary wordpress.com blog and then save changes.

  Now every time you sign into the forum we can all click on your username and your blog will be linked to it. And every time you leave a comment on a blog your username can be likewise clicked and your blog can be instantly located.

  This change is not retroactive. The blog linked to in comments you made previously will not change. Only the new comments you leave will be linked to the “new” primary blog after you make that change.

  Hi timethief
  I’ve made one account private and changed the link to hanwellnest. That’s fine for now as atleast my comments are linked to my active blog. But, can I make hanwellnest the primary blog that I login too? Or would I have to
  upgrade the whole domain?
  Thanks for the advice!

  I accidentally made hanwellnest private. Thanks for alerting me! That wouldn’t have been a good start to 2012!
