  I created a blog for a friend, using a email account I own. We are trying to change ownership of the blog to his e-mail address, or at least get my e-mail address off the blog owner user account, so I stop getting notification of posts, etc.

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

  Howdy!

  There are two main options:

  1. If your friend already has a WordPress.com account created, I can go ahead and transfer the blog and all upgrades to that user account. Just reply back with their email address to confirm!
  2. If they do not have a user account already, you can simply change the email address on your current account following the instructions here:

     Change Your Email Address

     Please note, in this instance, the new user would take over your username.

  Let me know how you would like to proceed! If you would like to move forward with option #1, please confirm the username of the new owner and the blog address you would like transferred.

  Hi Jeremy,

  The blog is: http://nolaguides.com/

  The WordPress account is: fishalkeller ((email visible only to moderators and staff))

  Thanks!

  Hi!

  I went ahead and transferred the blog nolaguides.wordpress.com and all associated upgrades to the user fishalkeller. That user can login and see their upgrades here:

  https://nolaguides.wordpress.com/wp-admin/paid-upgrades.php?page=my-upgrades

  Please note, you’re still an active user on the blog. Would you like me to remove you from that blog?

  Thanks Jeremy!

  Leave my account “as is”. I’ll have Al remove it once he’s comfortable that everything is still working OK.

  Thanks a bunch!
