Replying to posts when you have multiple blogs
-
When I first signed up for WordPress, I created one blog, specifically for dreams and dream study, then subsequently created a second one for writing, creativity, etc. By default, the dream blog was my primary one, but I changed that in the options, making the writing blog the primary, as I will use it more often.
However, I’ve noticed that when I comment in posts of other bloggers, the name link leads to my dream blog. This is fine for commenting in other posts on dreaming, but in non-dream blogs I prefer it to link to my writing blog.
It doesn’t make a differentc if I have one blog or the other open at the time. I can simply go to the WordPress portal with the Press This page, click directly into a blog, comment on it, and it will link me back to the dream blog.
Is there anything that can be done to make my primary blog the default link when I comment? Actually, it would even be nice to choose, since my comments on any dream blogs would be nice to lead back to my dream blog.
Ideas anyone? Yes, both blogs are from the same email address. I just happened to create the dream one first. I thought changing it to primary in the options would solve the problem, but maybe I didn’t find the right area?

Sorry to bump this, but there was no response yet – perhaps it’s somethng I need to contact support for? I was just hoping there might be a simple answer to this.

The primary blog setting has nothing to do with the link to your username. Go to users > personal settings, scroll down to the account info section and change the URL in the website field to reflect you writing blog. This will affect all new comments, but all comments made before the change will keep the old URL since that was saved with the comment on the other person’s site when you made the comment.

Thank you so much, that worked!
Actually, when I know i’m going to be browsing dream blogs, I could just whip in and change it again, then change it back for other blogs…
Thanks for the help, much appreciated. :)

You you can just log out and then enter the email and web address manually. As long as you use the email address associated with your account here, Gravatar will pick it up and serve up your image along with your comment.
I actually do most of my commenting while logged out and sometimes I don’t include a URL, sometimes I include my site here and sometimes I include my self-hosted site.
