    I have made a secondary blog on my primary site. However when I post on it, it comes up with.. Posted by “XXXXX” with my original blog site name. I would like to keep the two blogs separate so when I post it will come up with.. posted by “new blog name”. or.. is there a way that when I post it does not show who posted it? If I delete this secondary blog now I will then lose the name I have chosen and the email attached to it will be no good on wordpress.. I am just confused and I am sure there must be an easier way to keep my posts on the new blog from being linked to my original blog. The option for different blogs being managed on one site is wonderful but I don’t want my original title linked to each one.. Solution???

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

    Hello there,
    When we register a username we supply an email address that becomes our unique identifier. When we are logged in under that username account and register a blog it will be registered to that username. We can create a “nickname” or “display” name but it will appear on all blogs registered to the same username account. Also any blogs we accept invitations to necome users of will be added to that username account.

    In order to completely separate the blogs that are not associated with each other you register another username account using a different email address when you are logged out of WordPress.com. http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/ Then you add the new username account as an official user of the blog, http://en.support.wordpress.com/adding-users/ and designate them (ie. you) as an Admin. http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/ Next you transfer one of the blogs to the new username account using this process. http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-user-or-account

    I have a related question, if you have time… Is there a way to put a link to a new blog I started on the Home page of my original blog so my readers can find the new blog? Thank you for your time!
