  Hi

  I have two accounts that I’d like to merge. Is this possible?

  Thanks
  Sam

  Hi @aquinasmedia,
  I’d love to see if I can help you.

  On Account#1, go to My Site→People (click on the “Add” on the right side of “People” in the dashboard). When it redirects you to the new page, fill it out with your Account#2 information and make sure to set the role as “Administrator”. Once you add Account#2 as an administrator on your Account#1, you should be able to administer both accounts by logging in to Account#2.

  Hope this helps. Let me know if you’d like me to clarify any part!

  O.

  I would like to elaborate on the answer I provided earlier to make sure I avoid any kind of confusion.
  Firstly, the instructions above are applicable when you are on the newer interface of your WordPress.com account (the light blue looking one). If you are using the regular interface (with the dark grey sidebar), you can go into the “Users” section→Invite New. If you need more assistance with that, let me know and I can send you links to ressources.

  Also, just to clarify, this process will not merge your two blogs, it will simply allow you to manage both blogs by logging into one account. They will still remain separate.
