  I have more than one blog on wordpress and I want to have a different username for each of them. I also want to keep my followers separate if that is possible.
  Blog url: http://soulfoodsister.wordpress.com/

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

  If you only have one blog under one username at preasnet this is easy to answer. You simply create a new username account using a different email address while you are logged out of WordPress.com for each blog and register the blogs under each individual username.

  If you already have more than one blog under one username that you want to dissociate then you will have to separate them.

  When we register a username account here the email address we provide becomes our unique identifier. When we are logged into WordPress.com and register a blog it’s registered to that username account we are logged in under and to the email address which is our unique identifier. We can register as many blogs as we wish and provided we are using the same username account then all the blogs will be registered under it and the associated email account. We can change our “display name” but that display name will appear on all blogs registered under the same username account.

  In order to completely separate the blogs that you do not want to be associated with each other you register another username account using a different email address when you are logged out of WordPress.com. http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/ Then you add the new username account as an official user of the blog, and designate them (ie. you) as an Admin. Next you transfer one of the blogs to the new username account using this process. http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-user-or-account
