Why does it look like I have two blogs but it only shows as one?
-
i have two blogs that are posting to one blog. Did I do something wrong?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

This is what I see. I am not dure why it is like this but both are listed as Admins:

You only have one site under the username you’re posting from, at https://nielsenstudios.wordpress.com/
However, there are two users on that site, that’s the information you’ve copied.
The other username on nielsenstudios.wordpress.com has multiple blogs. Are you saying that posts you’re expecting to post on one of the other blogs are ending up on nielsenstudios.wordpress.com?

No it is actually only going to the one blog. I just don’t understand how I have two admins as I am the only person blogging.

You can have multiple administrator users, though we only recommend having one.
I can remove your username (the one from which you’re posting) from that blog and only leave the other one if you wish, to keep it from getting confusing. Or, as an administrator, you can remove yourself by visiting here:
https://nielsenstudios.wordpress.com/wp-admin/users.php
Hover over your username, then click the ‘remove’ that appears.

I am just concerned which one to keep as I see more posts with the one with the red logo, but the one with the black gravatar logo is the one that seems to be my main.

It would seem like you only started using the account you’re posting from since September 2014, the other accounts has lots more posts before that, but none after.
Did you create a second account just to have two email addresses using the site or something like that?
-
honestly at this point I am not sure. I wonder if I forgot an email login and then linked that email in. Is there really any issue with having the two admins? If not it is probably just as well to keep using the NielsenStudios then correct?

There’s no technology issue with having two administrator users, just a human one. When both admin users can be trusted, no issues occur. The risks are or more when someone leaves an organization or a friendship ends, if they still have administrator access they can do anything they want to your site, even malicious things.
If you control both accounts, there’s not really a downside so long as they both are secure. If you don’t recall the login information for one of them, I’d recommend at least resetting the password:
