  How do I let someone else write posts on my blog? I created another blog on my account for my young daughter to use as her own blog. I want her posts to have her name listed as the author. Can she change the author name in the post or can I add her as an additional author? She doesn’t have her own account or an e-mail address.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  All WordPress.com users need to either be 13 or older, or must have explicit parental consent to create an account on WordPress.com.

  Hi there,

  Can she change the author name in the post or can I add her as an additional author? She doesn’t have her own account or an e-mail address.

  Yes, she would need her own account and email address to be added as an author on your site. But as @timethief mentioned, your daughter must be 13+ years old. If not, I can provide you a Parental Consent form for any user under the age of 13 and she can have an account.
