    Dear Bloggers,

    I have looked and could not find an answer to the following.

    I currently have an account with 1 blog.
    Now i would like to add another blog to this account, but with another username.

    What i would like to know is this possible?
    But above all, will my blogs be linked through my username? Or am I better off opening a whole new account?

    Thanks very much in advance!!

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

    You HAVE to open a new account if you want the second blog to have a different username. Just register a new email at gmail or hotmail or yahoo and start from there. You will have to log out as one person and back in as the other in order to switch between accounts.

    Thanks Raincoaster, i’ll make a whole new account.

    Slikbonez, I have read this also before this post,
    but I don’t want my blogs to be linked at all.

    @zachery101
    The unique identifier is the email address we register accounts with. So raincoaster told you how to get two separate username accounts; each with a different email address.

    slik posted the relevant support entry as you may wish to register two different gravatars as well; one for each user account to make the disassociation of the user accounts complete. :)

    Happy blogging :)
