I have two blogs on the same account and want to separate them

  I run both http://peterthomas.wordpress.com/ (which is business-related) and http://trnovice.wordpress.com/ (which is not very business-related) from the same account. I believe that I have to pick one of these as my primary blog and can only pick one which will be used as a hyperlink with my name when I post on other blogs (or here).

  Is there a way to separate these out somehow (e.g. associating one with a different e-mail address), while retaining the URLs (and links to the blogs that have been established by other people), or do I have to set up a new blog with a new e-mail address and transfer content (which would be a pain)?

  To be clear, what would be ideal is if I could pick whether to link to my business or non-business blog when posting, depending on what type of blog I was posting on. However, settings seems to apply globally to both of my blogs.

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  1. Set up a new wordpress account using a new email address and new user name. (Just an account, not a blog)
  2. Make the new user an admin of one of the blogs.
  3. Contact support and have them remove you as the administrator of the blog. http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/07/22/how-do-i-transfer-a-blog-to-someone-else-another-name/
