Old Blog—->New Account
-
I accidentally created a new group blog under my personal account while I was logged in. I want a new account with a new user name and password. How can I switch it over now?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

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 addres. No matter how many blogs are created under any username account there will be only one gravatar and one primary blog that can be linked to that username.
In order to completely disassociate blogs currently registered under the same username account and associated email address proceed as follows.
Log out of WordPress.com and clear your browser cache and cookies.

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

ok so I did all that….but I don’t think that’s what I wanted. I actually want the username and the URL link of the blog I jake made to be a completely separate account from my old personal account. And now the username is take. So I can’t change it on the new one. Is there someone I can like chat with about this??
The URL is still under my old name and my new name has a ghetto version Of what I want on the new account.
I’ve made a mess by accident when forgetting I was already signed in. There had to be a way to fix this.
Thanks!!! -
Once you’ve created a blog with a given address like example123.wordpress.com, the corresponding username example123 is “reserved” and can only be claimed by the user who owns example123.wordpress.com.
If you want to create an account that matches an existing blog, you’ll need to take a few extra steps. I’ve outlined them in this post:
If you have any questions, please let me know.
