A matching user name
-
Hi.
I registered a new blog today (I prefer not to give a link to it; I don’t want people to know it’s mine). Let’s say it is example.wordpress.com.
My username is DewNestry.
When I publish a post, it is said it was written by DewNestry. I don’t want that. I want it to say it was written by Example.i.e. – I want a matching username and adress to my new blog.
BUT – I do NOT want to change the address of the new blog. I want a new user, with a matching username.I tried to create a new user in order to transfer the blog to it, but it told me that the username was in use – most probably because I have a blog under the same name.
Is there any way I could get a new user with a username that matches to my new address?
If not, can I hide the ‘written by’ after each post? So people wouldn’t know who wrote the posts?Thanks.

O, I didn’t make myself clear.
I want two usernames, one for each blog, so peopl wouldn’t be able to know I’m the author of both. My current username matches the old blog, but I can’t have a new username to my new blog because it doesn’t let me register a username that would match the new blog – because the name ‘belongs’ to my current username. So, I can’t have a username with the new name, which is what I want.I’ll try to be clearer:
My current username is DewNestry, and my old blog (which I still want to use!) is dewnestry.wordpress.com.
I registered a new blog, whose address is, let’s say, Example123456.wordpress.com.
Now, I want a new user called Example123456, and transfer the blog to it. But wordpress doesn’t let me register a user called Example123456, because it says the name is taken – while I’m quite sure it ain’t, considering the fact that I have the blog under the address Example123456.The name ‘Example123456’ is, obviously, just an example ^^
Any way to solve this?

Oh, that’s easy. Create a new user, totally separate (you need a different email) and have it sign up just for a username. Once it exists, have your existing ID send it an Invitation to become Admin of the second blog. Then once it IS admin of the second blog, contact staff and ask them to delete your first account from that blog. You will have two separate blogs, with two completely separate usernames.
It doesn’t matter what username you start out with for the second blog; change the displayed name the way I discussed above.
