  When browsing posts in the “Reader,” I noticed that some posts show user’s public display name, while other posts show user’s username that they use to log in to their WordPress account. Mine shows my username… but I would like to see my public display name instead. Please help.

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

  This does not answer my question. How can I have my display name shown next to my article titles in the Reader? It is only showing my username now. A username cannot have capital letters, yet many users have capital letters showing in the name that is displayed next to their articles in the Reader.

  Finally, I figured it out. I had to change the site title under general settings.
