you can get the email with get_blog_option if you have the blog_id

I have only blog_id so I had to use get_blog_option($blog_id,’admin_email’);

then I searched for get user by email and ended up here. nice!

Agreed! Too many functions, too little time :)

If you want something to completely blow your mind, check out get_user_by() (http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/wp-includes/pluggable.php#L184). It lets you load a user based on one of 4 fields: ID, nicename, email, login.

Very cool! That’s why I love posting these snippets because you learn about other ways to accomplish the same task. There are so many functions in WordPress it’s tough to track them all. I’ll test it out and add your example to my post.

You could probably just use get_user_by_email() instead and skip the whole getting the id bit. Should work 2.5+.
