  I want to change the adress within my existing account.

  You can do that here https://wordpress.com/me/account

  Scroll down to Email Address and be sure to click the Save Account Settings link after you change it.

  Howdy @georghubertuseduard!

  In order to change your email, go to https://wordpress.com/me/account while logged in to your WordPress account.

  Find the box that reads, “Email Address” and type in the email that you want to use.

  Please remember that,

  Once you’ve entered a new email address and clicked “Save Account Settings,” you’ll receive an email at the new address with a confirmation link. You must click the confirmation link to confirm the change and update the email on your account.

  Let me know if you have any more questions! Thanks!

  Hey there it’s good to see you hopping along grasshopper. Soon you will bypass me because you will leave the repetitious questions for me to answer, and focus on CSS editing threads and deep problem solving type threads, right? ;)

  @timethief,

  Is that a wish or a hint? ;)

  I might just have to do that! Those CSS questions sure are fun to answer!

  Actually, it’s both. I’m trying to suggest ways to be noticed by Staff so you can become Staff. ;)

  Yo! We are friends and I have been your friend from the beginning even though you did not detect that at first. :) But we must stop meeting like this, so how about this? You can comment on a blog post on my blog to let me know how it went and I won’t publish the comment.
