  Hi, is it possible to separate two blogs that are currently under one account, and if so, how?

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

  It is possible, yes.

  1. Log out and create a new account with a new username under a different email address. When asked to create a blog, select the option to continue without creating a blog. Log out and log back into your original account. (You can skip this step if the other account already exists, like if you want to transfer the blog to a friend’s account.)

  2. Go to the My Blogs page from the dashboard. When you hover the mouse over the blog titles one of the options to appear will say Transfer blog. Click on that option for the blog you want to move and transfer the blog to the other account. http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-wordpress-com-user-or-account

  Note that the other account will become the sole owner of that blog, so if you ever want to delete that blog you’ll have to be logged in under the second account’s username. Make sure you read and understand all warning messages that appear while you’re busy with this process.

  Thanks so much, Kokkieh! I’m so technically challenged and find all of this really difficult :)
