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

  Every blog has a sole owner and it is the person with the username account who registered the blog under that username account. You have to add the other username account(s) ie. as Admin to the blog you want to be transferred to them and use the process to transfer the blog to their username account.

  How can I tell if the person actually transferred the blog to me? It would not show up on their “My Blogs” page any more, correct? The email they sent just said “Administrator”. What are the 2 steps you referred to above? I only see one where the actual transfer occurs. Thank you again!!
