  All support docs are at https://en.support.wordpress.com/
  Type in change your username and click to search https://en.support.wordpress.com/?s=change+your+username
  The relevant support doc and guide are at > Change your username > http://en.support.wordpress.com/change-your-username/

  Once you change your username you will not be able to change it back and the old name will not be available for you or anyone to use. If you just want to show your name differently please only change your Display Name. https://en.support.wordpress.com/change-your-username/

  Sorry, every post shows up as by “admin” because I did not chose to use my name when I started my blog. I did not know any better. Now that I do, I would like my own name to show up as the author.

  Wrong blog. I am currently at “twowilde.com” as toowilde expired. I haven’t been able to figure out how to merge the two blogs or migrate toowilde to twowilde.

  twowilde.com is a wordpress.ORG software install on paid hosting, hosted by CyrusOne

  Name Servers:
  ns1.bluehost.com
  ns2.bluehost.com

  That site is not on WordPress.COM servers and we cannot help you with it. Contact your host for hosting issues and post to WordPress.ORG support for software issues.

  We do not provide support for local installs of WordPress.ORG software, or for WordPress.ORG software installs on paid hosting, linked to WordPress.COM accounts with the Jetpack plugin so they display on the My Sites WordPress.COM account page.

  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  The wordpress.ORG support forum is at http://wordpress.org/support. The wordpress.ORG login link is here https://login.wordpress.org/ If you do not have an account yet then click Create an account https://login.wordpress.org/register/ and if you have lost an account password click Lost password? https://login.wordpress.org/lostpassword/
  WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page
  See also https://apps.wordpress.org/support/ for app support.
