  Hi,

  I want to start a blog with my children, where we all will be writing our own posts. We want use Mistylook. With it, each post has a “by xx” to show the author name. Is it possible to change the author name in each post, without having to add my children as authors via email and new accounts?

  Set their roles to ‘contributor’, of course, after you invited them via email and they ought to have accounts at WP.COM without necessarily register a blog — usernames only. You, as the blog admin, also have to approve their post(s) first before appearing publicly.

  Ok. I wondered if there was a way to do it “within the post”, without invitations etc, since my children are quite small (7 + 9) and are not yet using their own email accounts, but I suppose not. I´ll do it the normal way, then.
