  I have multiple email addresses and I want to change my email address on the account I used to create my blog but I had logged into WordPress with this email address so it’s not available to my blog site. I thought I would delete this account so I could use it but I received a warning that I can’t use this email for 30 days. Can you help?

  Specifically, I want to use the email address on this account (gmail.com) for the one with my blog (live.com).

  Gmail has a neat feature that will help you have essentially the same address on both accounts.

  First, head to https://wordpress.com/me/account . Change your email address there to

  (email visible only to moderators and staff)

  Obviously, use your real address, but adding the +1.

  Or you can add +extra, or +whatever. It doesn’t matter. The email will arrive all the same.

  Then head to the account you want to use and change its address to

  (email visible only to moderators and staff)

  and click the link to confirm that change. You’ll be all set. :)
