How can I speak to a person to get help?
-
How do I speak to someone. I need help to separate my blogs.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
-
I can help you out. What exactly are you looking to do as far as separating? Please be as specific as possible.

rootjosh, my redwoodempireboules.com expired with wordpress and I want to use one that doesn’t cost money; it think that would be redwoodempireboules.wordpress.com. How do i do that?
-
@twhitney49 Try
Dashboard >> Store >> My Upgrades >> Cancel the domain mapping – that should stop redwoodempireboules.com from redirecting to anyplace – however all the old bookmarks & search links will be broken –
redwoodempireboules.wordpress.com works fine for me

I have two blogs, one is a business blog, the other is a personal blog. I started the business blog first, then I added the personal blog recently. I didn’t realize that they would be connected. When I write on the personal blog, my business gravitar and information show up. How can I get my two blogs to be two separate blogs, having nothing to do with each other at all? Is there a way, or do I have to cancel one and start all over again?

Every blog has a sole owner and it is the person with the username account who registered the blog under that username account and associated email address. No matter how many blogs are created under any username account there will be only one gravatar and one primary blog that can be linked to that username.In order to completely disassociate blogs currently registered under the same username account and associated email address proceed as follows.
Log out of WordPress.com and clear your browser cache and cookies.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/Without logging in to WordPress.com, register another username account under different email address.
To transfer a blog from one username account A to another username account B you must first log in under the username account A that owns the blog you want to transfer to the other username account.
Then you add the other username account B as an Admin of the blog.

user roles http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/Then you A can use this process to transfer the blog to that username account B instead http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-user-or-account

If you really do not need the domain any longer, it really should be canceled.
However, the account you are posting from is not the owner of that domain or site. So I will need you to log into that account if you want to request domain cancellation.

Ok, so I exported, but I don’t know what the hell I did. Everything still seems the same. I opened a brand new blog under a new name. I then exported the blog and I don’t see a difference. Isn’t there a live person I can speak to for goodness sakes? I am not computer savvy, so this is very frustrating for me.

I am not a dead zombie
@DF – you export nothing – follow the instructions by @TT above – open a new account then transfer the blog for the business to the new account
no export or import required

Maybe I am not being clear. My business blog seems to control my personal blog. No matter what I do, I can’t seem to make my blogs separate. I can’t remove my business blog from being in control. Why is there nobody to talk to in person? I apologize if I am not savvy enough to do this by using this venue. I need to actually speak to someone. Is there no text support on Word Press?

Rootjosh, I don’t want to cancel anything. I just want two separate blogs. Why is this so difficult? If I cancel my personal blog to start all over again. I will lose all of my followers, and I won’t be able to use my blogging name again. Obviously there is no way for me to transfer my personal blog and make it a separate entity. Even if I add an administrator to the blog my business blog still comes up.

Blogs do not control other blogs. Your user account owns and controls all the blogs under that account.
No matter what I do, I can’t seem to make my blogs separate.
Timethief has posted the long version. But the short version is that you need to make a new WordPress.com user account and then transfer one of your current blogs to that account. Then your old account (dfconsultants) will own one blog and your new account will own the other. There will be no connection between the two.
The instructions for transferring a blog from one user to another are here:

You absolutely do NOT want to cancel your blog. I know this seems confusing, but we can get it straightened out. Canceling your blog will not help matters.
Obviously there is no way for me to transfer my personal blog and make it a separate entity.
There absolutely is a way to do that. Absolutely. Please see my post above and please read the support page I linked to. You need to set up an additional user account and then follow those instructions to transfer a site to it.
