How do I separate my blog from my former webmaster's umbrella site?

How do I extract my blog from my webmaster’s site?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi. My webmaster set up my blog, but he included it with another, totally unrelated blog. I’d like to start over on my own. Any advice?
-
Every blog here is free standing. I don’t know what you mean by another unrelated blog. Post the URLs please.

I think I can explain. My former webmaster created a WordPress blog for me using my domain name (loganward.com) at the same time he created a WordPress blog for another of his clients using his domain name (kevincrowepottery.com). When I go to the “Users” page, I see that both the Webmaster, Michael, and I are administrators (and he is also the administrator of Kevin Crowe Pottery). He set it up this way because at one point, he was administering both blogs, but no longer. I guess I can just remove him as an administrator from my blog and renew the WordPress domain, which is what I’m trying to do.

Blogs are owned by the original account that set them up – so your former webmaster might still own your blog and would need to transfer ownership to you
I flagged this for the staff to help as they can see who the blog owners are – maybe don’t delete anyone until the staff has a chance to help

Thanks! That sounds like the problem. He’s perfectly amenable to transferring ownership. I’d just need to know how to do it.

The other user is the owner on http://loganward.com/ not you, so they’ll need to transfer it to you following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-user-or-account
