  I have two blogs under the same username, but I want to merge them together into one – in effect, create a new blog from the ashes of the current two.

  I was even thinking of going premium for this new blog – is this even possible, or am I living is the world of flying pigs?

  (I pre-apologize if pigs are already flying and I missed it)

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

  Yes you can do that. We can export the content out of one blog and import it into the other. http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#moving-between-wordpress-com-blogs The downside is that all the original URLs to the content that you export and import will result in broken links. It will take weeks and possibly even months for the search engines to re-index it under the new URLs. http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2011/08/05/avoid-creating-404-pages/

  Timethief, thank you for the quick reply and help. I appreciate all you do to help the WordPress community.

  And if this is the direction I want to go in I’ll just have to suck it up and make sure I inform everyone about the change, and that they’ll need to update the links.

  Thanks again for the help!
