  I started my blog two years ago. It was part of the online course with Coursera. I am thinking of going on with it but I want to use my personal email instead of the student email. Can I do so without losing the job that I have already posted?
  The answer will help me to plan my next steps
  Thanks in advance
  Samah

  Hi Samah, of course. You can simply update your email address here:
  https://wordpress.com/me/account

  If you’re running into trouble with that, could you confirm which site you need help with, and what address you’re trying to use? If you’ll type it here it will be hidden from public view so only staff can see it. And we can use that to look for more information.

  Thanks but there is a need to manage certain things first. I couldn’t change my student email because I have already used the private one to start another blog. It is a mistake due to a lack of information. I learned now that whatever I do on the website is saved.
  I need your help to keep just one blog
  thanks in advance

  Yes, it’s not possible to have more than one account with the same address.

  If you just close the account, the email will be blocked for 30 days so I think you’ll rather want to change the email address on the private account first. This way you’ll free it up and will be able to use it for the desired account.

  I hope it makes sense :)
