  I have more than one blog under a single username. Can someone following one blog access the other? To clarify I have a personal blog and a professional blog. I would like my peers to access the professional but not necessarily the personal.

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

  When we register a username account here the email address we provide becomes our unique identifier. When we are logged into WordPress.com and register a blog it’s registered to that username account we are logged in under and to the email address which is our unique identifier. We can register as many blogs as we wish and provided we are using the same username account then all the blogs will be registered under it and the associated email account. We can change our “display name” but that display name will appear on all blogs registered under the same username account. We can link only a single “primary blog to our username.

  In order to completely separate the blogs that you do not want to be associated with each other you register another username account using a different email address when you are logged out of WordPress.com. http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/ Then you add the new username account as an official user of the blog, and designate them (ie. you) as an Admin. Next you transfer one of the blogs to the new username account using this process. http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-user-or-account

  They are under one email ( username) as of right now. So If i share my secondry blog in a facebook link or otherwise, will the viewers be a click away from my personal blog as well? Or are they separate entities as far as the readers are concerned? I’m new to this world and am trying to feel my way.

  Basically it means that they will be able to do a google search for your username and find your other blog. They are separate blogs, but not undiscoverable. For a truly undiscoverable blog, you need to create it using an entirely different, new account.
