  I already have a WordPress blog in my name (unkleE). I wanted to start a second blog in our family’s name, but when I set it up, WordPress automatically assumed the same name (unkleE) and didn’t give me the chance to set a different name.

  Is there a way to change this now, or do I have to trash the new blog (no trouble as there’s no content in it yet) and start again? If the latter, what should I do this time to nominate a new user name for the entire family?

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

  Not sure what advice to give you other than DON’T DELETE THE NAME – once a name is deleted it is gone forever even from you.

  Do you want a second different blog or do you want second new user name?

  If you want a second user name you need to log out and register a new user name with a different email address.

  Thanks for your help and interest.

  Yes, I want to change the username. I have now clarified my understanding, and what I want to do is set up a new admin user and then remove my unkleE name from the blog, or change my status to follower rather than admin, but it seems I cannot.

  I have posted a second question here which clarifies this.

  Any ideas would be appreciated thanks.

  Sorry, that was me using the other account. I’m going to have to keep my wits about me.

  I have now resolved this matter thanks. I do it by transferring the account to the second user. Thanks.
