  I am administering a small family blog, hosted under the ‘free’ plan at wordpress.com. I’m trying to change the author of a comment. I can edit the ‘name’ and ’email’ fields, but it still shows my own avatar image next to the comment. No PHP access since not self-hosted. Can this be done via the wp-admin page?

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

  I’m afraid there is no way to switch the avatar.

  Thanks. I figured as much but it’s good to have confirmation.
