Liking posts using two different blogs
-
This may be a silly question and I’m hoping there’s something simple I’ve overlooked. I have two blogs under my same email address. Whenever I ‘like’ anyone’s posts, people always end up checking out my original blog and following it.
My second blog has a narrower concept and more business related and I would like to figure out how I can ‘like’ posts and have them be associated with that blog. Do I need to detach my gravatar from the original blog, or does it have nothing to do with that? Hoping I’m not stuck only being able to like from the original blog. Suggestions appreciated!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there. Likes link to your Gravatar profile page, not to a specific blog. I see both your blogs are linked to your profile, so if people click on your picture where you liked a post they’ll see both sites: en.gravatar.com/happyandsimple
However, when you like a post the author of that post will see your username link (also when you comment). Your username is currently linked to http://happyandsimple.wordpress.com/ . You can change the blog your username is linked to, and you can change it as often as you like, but your username can only be linked to one website at a time.
When you comment or like, that link should be cached, so even if you like a site and then change the link, the notification will still link to the site it was connected to at the time you liked the post. You can change the link by changing the URL next to Web Address in your account settings: https://wordpress.com/me/account
The other option is of course to register a second Gravatar/WordPress.com account and transfer the business blog to that account. That way you can follow business blogs via your business account and personal blogs via your personal account. But that way you’ll constantly need to log out of one account and in to the other, versus constantly switching the username link depending on where you’re liking/commenting.
