  I set up BroeJoe’s World to showcase my brother’s photography, but I did it wrong and he’s not able to contribute directly–he has to send the photos to me. I’d like to make it independent of my main blog (Merrilymarylee) because on the subscriptions to his, it shows the name of my primary blog, too, and I’d prefer that his be completely stand-alone.
  Blog url: http://obxjoe.wordpress.com/

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

  If you want to transfer ownership of the blog so he is the administrator, then have him set up a wp.com account.

  Then follow the instructions here:

  If you want to remain as the admin of your brother’s blog, set up another wp.com account with an email addy different from the one you used for your primary blog. Have your brother set up a wp account.

  Follow the instructions above.

  Then invite him as an author or editor.
