Unfortunately it is not actually possible to recycle usernames within our system. Once a username has been used, even if it is discarded or "deleted," it remains in our database so that someone else does not assume that user's identity later on. We put this warning a couple of times on the help page about changing usernames:

http://en.support.wordpress.com/change-your-username/

At this point I do recommend that you transfer your sites from the user codemaster2cp to the user nightpool.

This can be done easily through the My Blogs menu within your Dashboard, and we have a help article which walks you through the process:

And how does that help my gravatar situation? I put in time preparing this and just wanted to know if you could finish the last step. Are you telling me it is not technically possible to recycle usernames? Or that policy prevents you from doing it even when both accounts are owned by the same person?

The nightpool user already existed in the database. It's not possible to rename an existing account (codemaster2cp) to an already existing username.

We do not delete account names, but we do keep them in the database. Normally, we don't ever recycle usernames, so that no one can ever obtain a username that a different user once owned.

Since you once owned the nightpool name, I was able to allow you to access that account again.

Please let me know if you're not able to log into the nightpool account.

You'll need to log into the nightpool account - you won't be able to use the username change tool. I've freed up the account nightpool so you can now regain access to that account. Then, you should be able to transfer the sites from codemaster2cp to nightpool.

Just let me know if you get stuck at any step.

I used to have two accounts. One was from a long time ago, and one that was slightly more recent. Neither of which I used, tbh. But when the Gravatar merge happened, it merged with my older (codemaster2cp) account. So I transferred all my blogs and adminships to this account and changed the username on the old one to nightpoolold. I would now like to change the username on codemaster2cp to nightpool, as it is the username I use everywhere else.

I would prefer everything to be consolidated under this account, and the only thing remaining is the username. Is it possible for you to free up this old, not in use anymore name?

log out of wordpress.com and register another username account using a different email address;
invite the new username account to become a new Administrator of the blog you want to transfer;
transfer one (or more) of the blogs to the new username account.

Been blogging for only about 3 months now. Just learning the ropes on the technical side. Here's my first issue:

I've got multiple blogs under one account (or email, I guess). I've got a blog which I would like to be my main blog, and another which I would like to have more risque material, and so remain anonymous.

I just realized that my gravatar is set for my main blog so that when I reply to comments on my anonymous blog, it links to my main blog, my main gravatar profile, etc. basically linking these accounts.

How can I possibly keep them separate and not have these two worlds collide? Someone please help.

If you have a Gmail account, you can use it to create separate emails for each one, by adding +something or .something.

For example, if the original email is [email redacted] - you can use [email redacted], [email redacted], or [email redacted], [email redacted]

Gmail will send all those emails to you. Other email services may provide a similar feature.

I am administrating a blog for a class I teach of thirty 8-9 year-olds. I have used a 2nd email (i.e. not the blog email) to set up a contributor account. I want the children all to be able to use this account to contribute to the blog. The trouble is when several of them login at the same time and they try to save their post the site gets stuck (just saying that it's saving). They are using Firefox. Is there a solution to this or is there another way of setting up multiple contributors without them having to have emails?

Thanks
