Why isn’t it possible to manage 2 blogs with the same account?
-
I’d really appreciate it if this is possible. Using Blogger, I could manage multiple blogs with the same account. Why can’t this be done in WordPress?
It’s really important, because sometimes there’s one category that doesn’t fit with the blog as a whole. It would’ve been better if I could post it in its appropriate blog (or even page) without switching between users everytime (if I signed up for another account).
Thanks a lot!

Agreed. This would be an awesome feature. A way that almost works is to assign your other wordpress login administrative rights. This way you are able to interface between the multiple blogs. Not always reliable though.

It is possible, (with a little work).
- sign up for 2 blogs using 2 accounts
- from one of the blog, add the other user (Users > Authors & Users)
- set roles as Administrator

ok, that’s what i had decided to do, once i saw that my second blog was going to be muddled up with my first. can i delete that second blog without deleting the first (both under same username/login?
right now i have
1 username with two blogs — horrible!!!!
and a second username with one blog
i want to have
one username one blog
other username one blogbut back to my primary question — will i delete both blogs under one username if i try to delete one of them?
argh.

“1. sign up for 2 blogs using 2 accounts”
You don’t need to do that.
Once you login into your account, go to wordpress.com. To the right, there’s a box with a message welcoming you:
Welcome back,
[your name]In this same box there is a list with the blogs you have registered. Then you should see this:
577,450 blogs on WordPress.com. (the numbers may vary)
and below that, you should see a link that reads:
Register another blog »
Click on it and take it from there.

Don’t delete any of your blogs ’cause you won’t be able to re-register them.
So, if
UsernameA has BlogA and BlogB
and UsernameB has BlogBBlogB should have under users 2 admin accounts:
UsernameA
UsernameBIf you want:
UsernameA -> BlogA
UsernameB -> BlogBGo to BlogB, click on Users > Authors & Users, check the checkbox next to UsernameA (the user you don’t want to have 2 blogs), then under Update Selected, check the radio button next to Remove checked users., then click on the “Bulk Update” button.
Hope that helps.

Thank you, I will give that a try. Removed checked users, then Bulk Update. Let you know how it goes.

Ok, here’s what I’ve got right now:
username A has two blogs – blogname1 and blogname2
username B has one blog – blogname3 — new accountif I delete blogname2 (in username A), will that delete blogname1?
what i’d like to end up with is
username A has one blog –
username B has one blogWhen I tried this last night, I was logged in as usernameA blogname 2, but the profile kept returning to usernameA blogname 1, which I very explicitly do not wish to delete.
Thoughts?
