  Hi,
  This is my main account. But I also have another account with 4 blogs. It’s a bit bothersome to have to sign out of this account and sign into the other account to be able to add new posts to these blogs. Is there a way I can combine the two accounts so I can stay logged into this, my main account, and from here post onto the blogs of the other account?
  Thanks for your reply!
  Brigitte

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

  The easiest way to do that is to add yourself (with this username) as an administrator to your other sites. This works the same way it would work if you were going to add a friend or other blogger to help you run the sites–in this case, the “friend” is just your other WordPress.com persona.

  Here are the instructions for how to add another user:

  It can get a little confusing when “you” are both the person you are adding as well as the person doing the adding so if you run into any trouble let me know and I’ll be happy to help you sort it out.

  Thanks for your reply, Liz! I did run into some trouble.
  I have added my mindyourbrain10 account as administrator to the other blogs. I did receive an invitation e-mail in my mailbox connected to my mindyourbrain10 account.
  I have accepted the invitations of the 4 blogs belonging to the verhaalhalen account. All according to plan.
  But when I tried to look at the blogs via my mindyourbrain10 dashboard they were not there. I haven’t been able to find them anywhere in this account.
  What am I doing wrong?
  Thanks for your help!

  A short follow-up: I checked into my other account and there it said the invitations were still waiting for acceptance.
  But I did accept the invitations and when I clicked the ‘accept invitation’ the page changed to the blog dashboard.

  Sorry to hear you ran into trouble. If you could just log into your other account and confirm which sites you’d like to add mindyourbrain10 as an administrator to, I can take care of it for you on this end.

  Dear Liz,
  I just logged into my other account and sent the information requested. I don’t know whether it will reach you, since my other account isn’t a paid account and the question went to the public forum (I did put in your work name).
  The blogs concerned are verweg4.wordpress.com, verweg3.wordpress.com, verweg2.wordpress.com, verweg1.wordpress.com
  and the account verhaalhalenblog
  I hope you can help me out here.
  Thanks!
  Brigitte
