    How can I split up my sites – I manage one for a group, another is a personal site which I set up later. Comments from one appear in the other. I want the two sites to operate separately – can you advise?

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

    All WordPress.COM blogs are separate websites. Each username account has a single email address associated with it, a single gravatar, and only one primary blog can be linked to the username.

    To disassociate blogs currently registered under the same username accounts see here for step by step instructions http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2012/08/14/separate-username-accounts-separate-blogs/

    You log out, clear your browser cache and cookies, and without logging in you register another username account under a different email address. Then you transfer one of the blog to it.

    Thanks for your advice, I’ll try it.
    I wonder if there’s any way to clear some or all my comments from the admin pages? I didn’t realise ones I made privately to friends with other sites would show up on the group site, it’s pretty annoying. I’ve hidden the ‘my comments’, but the other users on the site can still find them. I’d just prefer my private conversations that are nothing to do with the group to not be accessible. I don’t know if separating sites will affect what’s already been recorded. Any help would be very welcome.
