  Hi Guys,

  I’ve created a blog for my fiction writing under my humor writing login. Now every time I post or write on that blog, it shows my humor avatar and details (Princess Kickass).

  I’ve thought about creating a new user for my fiction writing, and then sharing the admin of the blog with that user, but the thing is, I don’t want to create a wordpress site for that user, since I wouldn’t be using it in the first place. But this seems to be a requirement when creating a new user.

  What should I do?

  Many Thanks!

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

  I would create a new user, then transfer your existing fiction blog to that user using these instructions:

  Take a look through that page and let me know if you have any further questions. I’ll be happy to help.

  Thanks for your quick reply, Rootjosh!

  It worked : )

  So I named the random wordpress site for the new account authorscswilde, but I hope it won’t confuse the google robots when someone googles my author name? When they do, they should see the other website (cswilde).

  Google should be able to sort that out. But if you wanted to be sure, you could use a completely different name.
