  I want to change my email address on jennilaidman.com to (email visible only to moderators and staff). But it keeps telling me that address is already in use. And it is, on this site, that I had completely forgotten about. You told me to go to this site, then you could help me change the address on jennilaidman.com. Thanks.

  Site: (email visible only to moderators and staff).
  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  That email address is in use by the account you’re currently logged in to, and we only allow one account per email address here.

  Have you thought about using a gmail alias? Instead of using this:

  yourrealemail (at) gmail (dot) com

  Use this:

  yourrealemail+otheraccount (at) gmail (dot) com

  You can make that +1, +whatever, +doesnotmatter … whatever letters or numbers make the most sense to you. Gmail will ignore the plus sign and anything after it. But we won’t, so it’s in effect a second email account that delivers to the same address.

  Want to give that a try?
