  I want to use a different display name for a second blog. My first blog is sort of anonymous and as such has an ambiguous display name. I decided to add a second blog of the real things that go on day to day but want to use a different display name, my own real name, for the second blog. There doesn’t seem to be aneasy way to do it.

  I could set up a whole new user and identity but I may as well do the entire blog under this identity which kind of defeats the object of being able to have more than one blog in a single account.

  Any help would be much appreciated.

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

  You can have more than one blog in a single account, but that’s ONE username. On both blogs.

  There is a theoretical way to do it, by going to your Profile and changing the Display Name and also changing the URL the username links to EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU SWITCH FROM ONE BLOG TO THE OTHER, but everyone screws this up, sooner rather than later.

  If you want two separate display names for reasons of anonymity, take anonymity seriously and have two separate user accounts.
