Forums / Two publicly visible blogs – can visitors see that I have both?

Two publicly visible blogs – can visitors see that I have both?

    I understand about making a blog private or allowing search engines and the public to see it.

    However, if I have more than one blog, and none of them set to private – can visitors to one blog see that the other(s) are associated with that one? Or would they appear as disconnected blogs?

    The reason I ask is that I have more than one “role” in life and would prefer not to let them get confused in people’s minds. (This is the same as an author using different names for different genres – writing, say, crime fiction under a pen name, because their other name is well known for romance. Not any wish to deceive.)

    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 and associated email addres. 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.

    Log out of WordPress.com and clear your browser cache and cookies.

    Without logging in to WordPress.com, register another username account under different email address.

    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

    You’re welcome. I thought it was better just to provide the instructions than to get into a an exchange over the fact that when blogs are “private” the weakest link is those you provide access to. It’s better by far to disassociate the blogs completely.
