  Recently the responsibility for our community web site has been transferred to another person. How do I change this person to an administrator or otherwise add them to the account?

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

  If you just want to add the person as an additional administrator, you can follow the directions at https://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#adding-users-to-your-site.

  If you want to transfer ownership of the site to another WordPress.com account, then https://en.support.wordpress.com/transferring-a-site-to-another-wordpress-com-account/ will help you. The new owner would then be responsible for paying for site upgrades (like domain mapping) in the future. You would no longer have any control over the blog.
