  I want to start a second blog and have a different profile. The second blog still uses my user name from the first blog as the author
  Blog url: http://premierfoundersteamblog.wordpress.com/

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

  When we register a username account here the email address we provide becomes our unique identifier. When we are logged into WordPress.com and register a blog it’s registered to that username account we are logged in under and to the email address which is our unique identifier. We can register as many blogs as we wish and provided we are using the same username account then all the blogs will be registered under it and the associated email account. We can change our “display name” but that display name will appear on all blogs registered under the same username account.

  In order to completely separate the blogs that you do not want to be associated with each other you register another username account using a different email address when you are logged out of WordPress.com. http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/

  Then you add the new username account as an official user of the blog, and designate them (ie. you) as an Admin. Next you transfer one of the blogs to the new username account using this process. http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-user-or-account

  Thank you for your response(s).

  I think my mistake was adding the second blog while I was logged in to WordPresswith my original email address.

  I think I understand generally that I need to set up the second blog with a different email account so I will try to correctly follow the directions to transfer out what I have done already.

  I may come back for help if this does not work.
