  To start, this has NOTHING to do with wordpress.org.

  Okay, so I have a few blogs and a few accounts. However, I have two distinct blogs that I want TWO distinct userid’s. The reason being is that I don’t want my main “screenname/website” linked with the other one. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to figure out how to do so. I have two gravatar images setup properly over there.

  I went to add myself as an admin to my wordpress.com website, but it prompted me to log out saying I can’t be logged into my currently used profile (or something similar).
  In summation, I want to be able to have two distinct Author names on two different blogs. I don’t want to be posting comments/etc as Synfidie all the time.

  So Blog 1 – Synfidie
  Blog 2 – Name of Blog as Author

  This was hard to describe, so hopefully it make some sense

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

  Okay, so I had my one email signed up as an admin on my non .org site an hour ago. I removed it hopeing to fix this issue, but I can’t “resend” that email addy to be an author again. I get this error message:

  Whoops, you can’t use an activation key you’ve created for someone else. You are currently logged in as apocalypticthoughts. If you would like to accept this invitation using another account, please log out first.

  I really don’t know what to do here.

  Fanfracking fantastic. I love whenever I post and don’t get a response..from anyone.

  In case anyone does a search similar to me in the future. Here was my solution:

  I finally used a secondary WP account to send an invitation to my blog as the author. I then opened up WP in a second browser window, logged in with other email, accepted invite.
  Went back to my WP account and transferred ownership of the blog to my secondary account.

  I’d rather have kept the blog connected to my main WP account, but since I never received a response..this was the next best thing.
