  I have several blogs under my main account. I just added this new one projectbeautifulworld.wordpress.com and when I go to post the only author choice I have is my other blog called A Lifetime of Travel Adventures. How do I get that drop down box to list this new blog that I’ve added so that the authorship will be consistent with my new blog?

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

  Clicking this link should display all your blogs registered under the same username, including the hidden ones: https://dashboard.wordpress.com/wp-admin/index.php?page=my-blogs&show=hidden
  If you do not see the blog here http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/ then
  follow this guide > http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/#my-blogs-dashboard-visibility

  Thank you for your response but I think you misunderstood me. I have four blogs total and I just added this new one. They are all listed under my blogs and I am listed as administrator on them all but when I go to create a new post and I go to choose the ‘author’ the only option I am getting is for my primary blog. I don’t want to create a post for my new blog called ‘Project Beautiful World’ and have the author say ‘A Lifetime of Travel Adventures’. They are two different blogs aimed at two different groups and I want to keep it that way. How do I get all my blog names in that ‘author’ drop down box under the new post page?

  How many username accounts do you have?

  Note: You cannot access any blog unless you are logging in under the exact same username account that registered the blog in question.

  Okay so basically although wordpress allows you to have unlimited blogs under one username it’s not able to allow you to differentiate the blogs with different author names. I guess the solution is to create a different user account for each blog and then transfer each blog to the appropriate user account.

  That’s correct. To register a username account here all that’s required is a single email address which becomes your unique identifier. When you are logged in then all blogs you register are registered under that username account and associate email address. To disassociate the blogs you need to create separate username accounts and transfer the blog to the new username account. http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2012/08/14/separate-username-accounts-separate-blogs/
