  I have 3 blogs. One will be written by me; one will be written by my fiancee and the 3rd will be written by both of us. I can’t seem to be able to make the display name (what the public sees) change for us as we author our own post. All I can seem to make is a global change which makes my name show up on all three blogs, or her name show up on all three blogs. How can I fix this? Thanks!

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

  Each person will have to have their own account and be an contributor, author, editor or admin on that blog. On the blog where both of you will be posting, you need to have both users added to that account. You each then sign in using your own account and then your posts will appear under your chosen display name. Your “display” name can be different from your username and that is set under users > my profile.

  Thanks! How does each user “sign in” as you suggest. I’ve done everything else you suggested. My problem is that when I change the display name on one of my blogs, it changes on the other 3 as well?? Ken… (email visible only to moderators and staff)
