get into the website I just created – it thinks I’m just a viewer!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Aloha eliseferrell, Did you create this second website on a separate WordPress.com user account? If so, you could try logging out of this account and logging in with that username and password to see if it shows you as an admin.

Haha, Geoffrey, you are a smart fellow! I didn’t realize until very late last night that after WordPress blocked me from re-using my name for the other site, I had used my full name for username. That was, indeed, the answer! Thank you :)

You’re welcome! I’m happy to hear that was it! Should the site be on this account instead of the other one? If so, you could transfer the site from one WordPress.com account to another using these directions:

Hm, Well, here’s what’s happening – my new website (really a blog) works great. Someone e-mailed me through the Contact page, and that came straight to my e-mail. But another person inserted a Comment, and that went to my bandmate’s e-mail. So now all I need to change is the e-mail address where the Comments are going. I’m not sure this should involve tampering with the site ownership. Is there another way to change the e-mail address connected to the Comments?
Thanks, Elise -
Was your bandmate the one who was the author for the post that received the comment? Here’s how the comments are delivered:
Who receives comment notifications and can moderate comments?
- Contributors don’t receive comment notifications and can’t moderate any comments
- Authors receive comment notifications for, and can moderate comments on, only posts for which they’re the “author”
- Editors receive comment notifications only for posts for which they’re the “author”, but can moderate any comments
- Site owners receive comment notifications for all posts, and can moderate any comments. Other site administrators will not receive comment notifications unless they a) have written the post, or b) have followed the site and opted-in to receive notifications for all comments on the site. Following the site will only launch notification emails for published comments, not comments in the moderation queue.
If you will have multiple authors, it sounds like you may want to go the last route – follow the site and opt-in to receive notifications for all comments.
