  In the authors widget, can I set it up to list the authors’ full names instead of their wordpress user names (i.e. ‘Julie Lee’ instead of ‘julielee52’)?

  Yes, you can! The Authors Widget shows display names (nicknames) and not usernames, so if you customize your nickname then it will show your full name.

  You can do that in your profile at https://girlmatters2.wordpress.com/wp-admin/users.php?page=grofiles-editor .
