  I need to transfer a wordpress.com blog, all its contents as is, and the domain name to another wordpress user. Is this possible? I don’t want the blog to be affected or change appearance.

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

  Yes you can transfer the blog to another WordPress.com username account. Every WordPress.COM blog has a sole owner and it is the person with the WordPress.COM username account who registered the blog under that username account and associated email address.

  Below is what the blog’s owner must do.

  You must be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog and purchased upgrades to renew them or transfer the blogs and the upgrades to another username account.

  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

  thank you. I am currently an author of the account A. And I want to move the blog and it’s specific url to account B. I want to make sure when I move the blog using the directions given, I will be able to keep the url/domain name from account A. Do you know if this is possible?
