  I would like to change my username (the name with the @) to something more generic. When I set up this blog I did not realize that would be the username for the entire account. Now I can’t set up a new account with the same email! When I go into account settings the option textbox for the username is greyed out so I cannot click it and type in the new username I want.

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