  I have come across a few problems of having two blogs on wordpress. I have one blog called gowithgretchenoverland which is articles on self-improvement. I just created another blog as well, Goreadmydustybooks about fun book reviews. Problem 1)I need to choose a primary blog. This is annoying because I would like to move seemlessly between both blogs I use equally as much 2)all of a sudden ALL of my gowithgretchenoverland self-help articles I posted now say “BY goreadmydustybooks”. What the heck? I was in the gowithgretchenoverland blog. What happened to Gretchen Overland? what will my followers think happened to Gretchen?
  3) The defining between multiple blogs is VERY frustrating and confusing. I want to be able to easily “log in” to gretchen’s blog separately as well as goreadmydustybooks separately. Now I don’t know how to fix it. All my followers are going to be confused who dusty is! Help please!

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

  If you have an account, you can have multiple blogs associated with that account. The account is identified by the email address. Your gravatar is the same for all the blogs connected to that account because it is associated with that email address. You select a primary blog and that is who you are for all blogs on that account.

  If you want to have two blogs with different avatars, then you will need to set up different accounts with different email addresses.

  You can use different browsers, one for each. Safari for one and FireFox for the other. Or you need to log in and out to be one person or the other.

  If you have two accounts it is like being two different entities, two different people. WordPress knows who you are by the account/email. Two accounts mean two different people. You cannot be two people on one browser. They also know you via your email identity.
