Created blog logged in – now need separate username

    I created another blog while logged in, but I want a separate username – or a separate display name while posting on that blog.

    So I was logged in as blogger then created otherblogger.wordpress.com – When I post on otherblogger.wordpress.com I want it the author to appear as otherblogger, not blogger.

    How do I do this?

    Thanks :)

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

    There are two things you can do.

    1) If you want to always use the name “otherblogger” then just change the display name for the user “My account->Edit profile”.

    2) If you need two users sign out of wordpress then sign up as a new user. You will not be able to chose the exact name “otherblogger” because creating the blog will have made this unavailable (I think) but you will be able to change the display name as in “1”. Then log in to your other name again and give “otherblogger” rights to your blog

    On some themes, the admin username will still show up in the URL, for example in a list of posts by a particular author. So, solution 1 suggested by tandava108 should be used with caution.

    Here is the link to transfer blog ownership.

    Unfortunately, I tried and creating a username identical to an existing domain for one of my test blogs (__.wordpress.com) and it doesn’t work… If you really want to keep that domain and username, you may want to contact staff, but I don’t promise that they’ll be able to do anything:
