  Hi there,

  I recently changed my secondary blog address and was asked if I wanted to create a separate username for that blog name. I did, expecting that username to become the sole administrator of the new blog, but I can’t shift my primary username/account from being noted as the author. Is there a way to stop my primary user account being linked to the second blog?

  Thanks.

  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 address. 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.

  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.

  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
