  I have created a site in my WordPress.com space but I want to transfer it to another WordPress.com user without having to re-create everything. Can I do that?

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

  Yes you can. Every blog has a sole owner and it is the person with the username account who registered the blog under that username account and associated email address.

  The blog’s owner can transfer the blog. You must be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog and purchased upgrades to renew them or transfer the blogs and the upgrades to another username account.

  To transfer a blog from one username account A to another username account B you must first log in under the username account A that owns the blog you want to transfer to the other username account.

  Then you add the other username account B as an Admin of the blog.

  user roles http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/

  Then you A can use this process to transfer the blog to that username account B instead http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-user-or-account

  Thanks for such a quick response, My 70 year old brain has decided it has had enough today so I’ll go through those instructions in the morning.
  Thanks again
