  I am helping someone set up their blog.

  can I set it up with their email, password etc. and not have it tied to my IP address?

  OR

  Can I transfer it to them when I have finished setting it up?

  Thanks so much!

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

  You can do either one. I don’t think there is much difference between the two options. Might be a bit easier to just set things up with their own account.

  Many times people set a site up on their own account and then transfer it to their friends after their friends get the hang of what they are doing.

  What auxclass has said is true. There are two ways to go on this. If you do choose to set it the blog up for them and then transfer it to your friend these instructions are important.
  user roles http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/
  adding users http://en.support.wordpress.com/adding-users/
  transfer blog to another username account http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-user-or-account
