  I am trying to change the email address for my account. I see that your advice is that the email address I want to change to must have another account – I am POSITIVE this is not the case.

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

  Hi there,
  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.

  You must be logged in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the free hosted WordPress.com blog(s) to change the associated email address.

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