  I deleted my blog (http://bikerideswithme.wordpress.com) & created a new one (http://motorambler.wordpress.com). I only have 2 email addresses:

  1. My primary email address was used with my old (deleted) blog
  2. My secondary spam/catch-all email (Hotmail) was used for my new blog (because WordPress kept insisting my primary email was being used)

  How do I swap the associated email addresses around? Why am I even here asking this question — it shouldn’t be this hard! I have been going around in circles here.

  If you don’t understand the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org, you may find this information helpful.

  Yes, you’ll need staff intervention to transfer ownership of a blog to a different account.

  NB you don’t need to create a new account to have a second blog (though some people prefer that) – you can have several blogs owned by one account.
