I want to merge two accounts
-
I made a new account with a new address, but than realized that WordPress allows the same account to have several different blogs. I would like to merge the new account (and blog) with my existing one. Basically, I want it to appear just like I went to “register a new blog” and put in the address of the new blog.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You can transfer a blog from one username account to another by adding the username account as an Admin of the blog and using this process > http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-user-or-account
Although username accounts are not deleted, so you cannot be impersonated and have your reputation affected by anyone registering the same username in the future, there are steps you can take that amount to removing all personal information and result in leaving only a throwaway email address behind. http://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/
1. You can go to My Account->Edit Profile and remove all data except the account name and an email address. Create a throwaway email address and change the account email to that throwaway address. This only leaves the username behind.
2. To unsubscribe from email sent to you from WordPress.com, go here and click on “Block all subscription emails from WordPress.com”:
http://wordpress.com/#!/following/subsettings/3. To ensure the account is locked up tightly, visit this site, generate a password of 15-20 characters, and change the account password to it:

Ok I obviously don’t know what I’m doing, because I just went to the “new blog” I created (which I want to move) and clicked “Site Admin”, and got the following page:
User cduston Cannot Access the Dashboard RequestedYou are logged in as "cduston" and do not have the necessary privileges to access the dashboard for "The Minimalist Physicist". If you are not "cduston", please log out, and log back in with your username. If you are "cduston" and you need access, please ask an administrator of the site to invite you.
If you reached this screen by accident and meant to visit one your own sites, here are some shortcuts to help you find your way.

Obviously I somehow MADE the blog as part of my original account. Ok, that’s kinda what I want I guess, but when I go to “my dashboard” I only see my original blog under “My Blogs”, not the new one. What stupid thing did I do?

Ok I got it!
Thanks for your help, the instructions were fine. My browser was just double-crossing me by automatically logging me in. Thanks!
