  I have 2 blogs w/ the same user name. I would like to change the user name on one of them so it is separate. Can I do this?

  #1 blog is todayIthink.wordpress.com/ I want this to stay as is.
  #2 blog is dayofgrace.me/ I want to change the user name and have it be a separate account.

  Possible?

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

  Just create another account (which will need a different email address associated to it since there is only one account per email address, just make it a username only account unless you want another blog: http://en.wordpress.com/signup/ ) and then transfer the site to that new account by following the instructions here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-user-or-account

  Personally having two accounts for two blogs is a lot more hassle since you’ll be logging in and out and emails will go to different accounts, it’s much simpler having the two blogs under one account. They are essentially separate anyway, but as you wish.

  I agree about the bother of 2 accounts. But what I don’t like is that when I respond or comment on blog 2 the comment links to blog 1. Is there a way to have the comments link to the blog that the comment originated from?

  Yes, comment from a user account that has Blog 2 as the primary blog.

  You can link one username to only one primary blog registered under that same username.

  Once again this brings me back to the original question. Can I change the user name on blog 2 so it will be separate? If so how without causing problems on blog 1.

  Yes, all blogs are independent.

  To disassociate two blogs registered under the same username account and email address you need to
  1. register another username account with a different email address while logged out of WordPress.com;
  2. make that new username account an Admin of the blog you want to transfer;
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/adding-users/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/
  3. use this process to transfer the blog to the new username account > http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-user-or-account
