  Please read this first. All you were required to provide to register an account here was an email address that can be replaced at any time.

  Any personal information that you voluntarily posted can also be removed at any time.

  Although username accounts are not deleted, so you cannot be impersonated and have your reputation affected by anyone registering the same username in the future, there are steps you can take that amount to removing all personal information and result in leaving only a throwaway email address behind. http://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/

  Every blog has a sole owner and it is the person with the username account who registered the blog under that username account. That username account has to add the other username account(s) ie. as Admin to the blog you want to be transferred to them and then use the process to transfer the blog to their username account.

  Log out of WordPress.com and clear your browser cache and cookies an then login as Admin under the second username account.
