    I signed up for a domain name (portraitsbycecelia.com) for a friend of mine, I used my e-mail address ((email visible only to moderators and staff)) so I could activate the site. I then changed the adminstrative e-mail address under Settings/General to my friends e-mail address ((email visible only to moderators and staff)). She received the e-mail from wordpress and activated it. Her e-mail address now appears under Settings/General. However, when I use the contact me form on her site, I receive the e-mail instead of her. I also noticed my e-mail address was listed as the administrator. How do I change the administraor e-mail address to my friend’s e-mail as well as get the contact form to e-mail her instead of me?

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

    How do I change the administraor e-mail address to my friend’s e-mail as well as get the contact form to e-mail her instead of me?

    Make her an Admin of the blog and transfer the blog to her username account http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-user-or-account

    You have two separate email address settings at WordPress.com.

    Blog notifications for the admin (like comment moderation, Likes, new subscriptions, etc) are sent to the email address at Settings -> General in the Dashboard.

    Personal notifications (like comments on your post, subscription emails, and upgrade renewals) are sent to the email address at Users -> Personal Settings in the Dashboard.

    Try the change here first > http://wordpress.com/#!/settings/
