need help transferring blog
-
I want to change the user name I use for this blog. I added the new user name as admin but am unable to delete the old one. Then I tried to transfer the blog to the new user name but no confirmation email arrives. I purchased a domain for this site and maybe that is complicating things? Please help.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi,
As for changing your username to “admin” that username is not allowed. You should have gotten an error message after submitting the change stating: “that username is not allowed”.
When you change your username, be sure to follow the steps in this document:

What is this new username please?
Did you follow this guide? http://en.support.wordpress.com/change-your-username/
Blog names are the same as usernames for the most part. That’s because blog URLs that match our usernames arr reserved for our future use. Usernames can be turned into blog names, but blog names cannot be turned into usernames.

Eggbizdev: I meant I gave the new user name administrator privileges, but apparently those privileges don’t include deleting the previous administrator that started the site.
Timethief: Thank you. I did not see or follow that guide. I will look into it. At first glance it looks like I’d lose my old user name forever and I’m trying to avoid that. I want to use the old user name for my nonprofit blogs and the new one for my personal blog.

Yes, you can not delete the user because users are accounts.
Were you able to determine if the transfer was successful?
