This took me forever to figure out, so I thought I would post it on my blog just in case anyone else was having problems with this too.
So, when I created my blogger account I used a hotmail email account that I already had, let's call it "account@hotmail.com"
After blogging for a little bit, I decided that I would rather have an email account just for blogging. I created michelle.craftsandcrap@gmail.com
Now here was my problem. I would be logged onto my blog under my hotmail account doing something. I would need to go to my email, in which I would have to log out of google under my account@hotmail.com and log into michelle.craftsandcrap@gmail.com. Then I would need to go back to my blog, which would make me log out and back in again.
Basically, I was looking for a way to avoid all this logging in and out and in and out. Believe me it was happening a LOT!
Here is what I did.
1. I signed into my account@hotmail.com account in blogger.
2. I went to my dashboard and I clicked on the "Settings" tab, and then clicked on the "Permissions" tab.
3. I added michelle.craftsandcrap@gmail.com as an author by clicking on the blue box that says "Add Author."
4. I logged out of my account@hotmail.com through google and logged on to my michelle.craftsandcrap@gmail.com account.
5. In my email, I accepted the request to become an author.
6. I logged back out of michelle.craftsandcrap@hotmail.com and back into account@hotmail.com.
7. I went back to my Dashboard and back to the "Settings" tab and then to "Permissions." I gave michelle.craftsandcrap@gmail.com "admin status" and deleted myself (account@hotmail.com) as an author.
*Note: All of this was done through two accounts, my hotmail blogger account, and my gmail craftsandcrap account. So basically I was in Google the entire time, just logging in and out of two accounts.*
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
It's not too often that I know what I am doing when it comes to blogging, so when I figure something out, I love to share it :)

You cannot do that anymore. Blogger Team will not permit it. It was very nice the way they had it and they way you did it then. But no more.
