  http://www.draruneshgupta.wordpress.com is a blog which belongs to a friend. Since he doesnt know how to do it I created this blog using my personal email id which is (email visible only to moderators and staff) But its time to handover the blog to him so that he can manage in future. For this I changed my email id to his email id which is (email visible only to moderators and staff) He got a mail from wordpress to confirm the change in email id link. He confirmed the same but it is not showing the updated email id. He tried login with his email id and password but He is not able to do so.

  Please replace my email id with his email id.

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

  The appropriate way to proceed is to transfer the blog to the other username account. Every blog has a sole owner and it is the person with the username account who registered the blog under that username account and the email address associated with that account.

  You must be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog and purchased upgrades to renew them or transfer the blogs and the upgrades to another username account.

  To transfer a blog from one username account A to another username account B you must first log in under the username account A that owns the blog you want to transfer to the other username account.

  Then you add the other username account B as an Admin of the blog.

  Then you A can use this process to transfer the blog to that username account B instead http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-user-or-account
