  I accidentally started a blog under the wrong account – I meant to open a new account to do it. I’ve added the new account as an administrator which the help files assure me can do *everything* but I can’t use that account to remove the old account from the blog. If someone could help me with this I’d appreciate it – I don’t want my real name/photo attached to the new blog! Thanks for your time.

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

  You can’t remove the creator/first admin of the blog, you have to transfer the blog from the creator to the other account. This is to ensure the creator isn’t kicked off their own site by someone else.

  Just follow the steps here to transfer it to the account you want (you’ll need to be in the creator’s account to do so): http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-user-or-account
