  Hey,

  So I started a blog recently and haven’t had time to work on it so I decided that I would make my friend and admin and come back later to help out. However, he just finished the site and now I want to quit and maybe contribute as an author rather than as an admin. When I try to change my role though wordpress denies me the ability. How do I fix this?

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

  As you are the original Admin of the blog you will need Staff help to have your role changed. I will flag this thread for Staff attention.

  You’re welcome. Please be patient as most support Staff is away at present.

  You’ll need to transfer ownership of the blog following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-user-or-account

  That’s why I didn’t post that link. Sorry.

  No worries. He can’t change his role because he owns the blog.
