  I have started a blog transfer to my client. I have done everything BUT hit the confirmation link.
  Why? The link notes that the client account is– mmotterheightstowercom.

  The NEW user account/address is actually– (email visible only to moderators and staff)

  I need to confirm that your version–sans @ and . for the .com is correct.

  I also need info to email to my client to help them:
  1. map his domain (unique URL that he already owns)
  2. make me a guest so I can continue to work on the site.

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

  Hi there,

  What exactly are you trying to do? Are you trying to transfer a site from one username to another?

  mmotterheightstowercom is the username associated with the email address you provided. The Transfer site flow will show you the username of the target account, not the email address, as users are identified by usernames on WordPress.com.

  I also need info to email to my client to help them:
  1. map his domain (unique URL that he already owns)

  Adding domain mapping to a site will require first adding a paid plan under My Site ->Plans. Then you can add the domain mapping under My Site ->Domains ->Add.

  Use a Domain You Already Own (Domain Mapping)

  2. make me a guest so I can continue to work on the site.

  You can see instructions for adding a user to a site here:
