  We changed ownership of blog and posts by previous owner appear to be authored by me now.

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

  Example is that http://wp.me/paIST-1Mt was written by lingpipe but now appears to be by breckbaldwin. This is incorrect.

  Hi there,

  When you transfer a blog to another WordPress.com user, the previous user is removed from the blog. Therefore, the posts are reassigned to the new owner.

  To change the author of the posts back to the previous user, you will need to edit them using the Quick Edit option:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/edit-posts-screen/#quick-edit

  Just select the posts you would like to change and then select the correct author from the drop-down list.

  Let me know if you need anything else!
