  I asked this yesterday, but the person who answered either didn’t understand or I wasn’t clear enough. I’d like to have multiple PROFILES on each WP.com account. I want a different blog on WP, but I don’t want my current profile associated with it. Can I create a new profile (or author) so I don’t have to keep switching accounts?

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

  Hi there,

  Each WordPress.com account/username has a single public profile — that’s the one you can manage from your public profile settings. You can also manage your profile by logging in to your account at Gravatar.com.

  There isn’t a way to have multiple profiles linked to one account, since your profile is linked directly to your WordPress.com username. To have different profiles, you’ll need to use a different account for each profile.

  However, once you have a separate account set up with its own blog, you can add your other account as an administrator on that blog. We have more about how to do that at these links:

  • Inviting Contributors, Followers, and Viewers
  • User Roles

  You can then manage all of your blogs from a single account. When you write a new post, you can manually choose which author you want to have linked to the post: http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/new-post-screen/#post-author

  Please let me know if you have any questions about that. :)
