Correct you can set up a new username then transfer the blog over to the new username… http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#moving-between-wordpress-com-blogs

Macmanx & sl1k, thanks for the link/info… but I don’t think it’s working for my particular situation. I’m not trying to move any content of posting from one WordPress account to another… just the URL. For example, in my first (personal account), I have blog URL like firstlastname.wordpress.com and ALSO one called skiduck.wordpress.com. (I want to to move the skiduck.wordpress.com URL into my 2nd account (skiduckS.wordpress.com) – so anybody associated with the nonprofit can login & posts blogs… rather than having to login into my personal account.

I’m tempted to just delete it & see if I can re-create an entirely new account (skiduck, without the S at the end)??? – but looks like I might lose the URL altogether, which would be even worse.

Thanks, in advance, for any further advice! :-) clint

Each blog is stand alone – you can give access to the non-profit blog and they will NOT have access to your original personal blog, only the blogs that they have been given specific access to. I watch over some friends blogs for them, they only have access to their specific blog but I have access to all of them in case of trouble.

You can also create a new account and transfer the blog to it, or with the help of the Staff you can have a new account created with the name of the non-profit blog.

WordPress.com username accounts cannot be deleted. See here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/

Also note that all those who require wordpress stats and Akismet on self hosted wordpress.ORG installs require wordpress.com username accounts to get the API keys for those plugins.

WordPress.com blogs can be deleted but once deleted the blog URLs cannot be recycled and reused. They are gone forever. See here >

I accidentally created two accounts and only want one. I can’t get into the dashboard of one of them and it’s the one I want to keep. I can’t remember the username and password.
All I want to do is keep the .com one and delete the other one before I start customizing the blog.

Help!

The email address we use to create a username account here at wordpress.com is our unique identifier. See here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/email-address/
