Author display
-
I have two WordPress blogs. One I would prefer to remain anonymous, but under the posts it lists my login name, which is my first initial and last name. I can’t change my login name. This is a huge pain. Is there a way to get this to not display or to change my login?

Here’s what I did (because I was in a similar situation). I have a blog where I deal with abuse issues. I also have one that is for my family to follow while I’m teaching overseas. It’s really none of their business what I write in the abuse blog and the theme I use has a link to the author’s blog (I think most themes do). I want to link the abuse blog to my screen name because I post on related blogs and want people to be able to find mine. Without thinking I created the teaching blog using the screen name that my abuse blog uses. And I don’t want the author on the post linking back to that abuse blog.
So here’s what I came up with. I created a new email address just for the blog (gmail, hotmail, yahoo, etc). I created a new account here at WordPress without a blog. I went to the teaching blog and added that new account as an administrator.
So now when I get comment notifications or I want to do administrative stuff, I can do it without signing out of wordpress because both screen names are listed as administrators. But if I want to reply to a comment, I sign out of the one account and into the other. Posting isn’t a problem as I write off-line and upload them through BlogDesk. It can be configured to post using different credentials.
I hope this makes sense.

Ahh yes this does make sense. I was considering I’d have to resign up but didn’t think of having to log in. Good one — thanks!

Also, listing the author on posts is theme-specific, so you could use a theme that doesn’t have that info shown.
