Establishing different username

  • Unknown's avatar

    I already have a wordpress.com blog. I want to add a new one with a different user name. Is this possible and if so, how do I do this?

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

    You log out, you go to http://wordpress.com, put in a new username/blogname and a different email address than you’re using now, and away you go.

    I added something to my original post but apparently it didn’t “take.”

    This is a more accurate description of my problem. I already added a new blog under my current username. After I did so, I realized I wanted to use a different username for the new blog. So what I really need to know is can I change the username on the new blog that I just added? I read some of the posts about adding “users” to my primary blog, but not sure if this is the solution.

    I wish I’d asked my question before adding the new blog! Hindsight, you know?

    No worries, this is a common question.

    You create the second account, B. Your first account, A, then Invites B to be a user of the second blog, Bblog, as an admin. Once B has accepted the invitation, A can leave the blog.

    Hmmm. I’m afraid I still haven’t made myself clear.

    I created Bblog under my current username, which means it shows up as a second blog under “Manage Blogs” when I’m signed in. It wasn’t until later that I realized I wanted a different username for the NEW blog (not that I want to use a different username on my existing blog).

    So, my question — is there any way to CHANGE the user name on Bblog since it was created under my existing username?

    Yes, by leaving that blog. You can only do that if there is a different account there as admin. Which is why I gave you those instructions.
