  I had two blogs on the WordPress site. I wanted to delete the non primary blog since it seemed to show up everywhere (madcapdownsideup.wordpress.com) . However now when I comment on somebody else’s post, it does not take me to my main site – http://madcaphat.wordpress.com. How do I ensure that when readers from other forums click on my name after I have commented, it takes them to http://madcaphat.wordpress.com/

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

  Changing the primary blog linked to your username is not retroactive. That chnage is reflected only after you make it. All comments made before the chnage will remain linked to the blog that was linked to when they were submitted and approved. For changing the primary blog linked to the username see here http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2007/10/06/link-your-username-to-your-blog/

  You do not have to delete the other blog. 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.

  Without logging in to WordPress.com, register another username account under different email address.

  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
