  Hi! Can I create a private journal blog for my son and then break it away from my account when he gets older so he can keep it private from me?

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

  Hi sethjenson,

  Yes, this could be done. The blog you create can be marked as private in order to hide it from public view:

  When your son is older, ownership of the blog could be transferred to his WordPress.com account with these steps:

  Our terms of service mention that we require WordPress.com users to be over 13 years old, so that’s something to bear in mind depending on how old your son is.

  Please let me know if you have any questions.
