  My computer was logged in to another our blog authors. I forgot to log out and log in with my name. I have been working on a long post with links and photos and videos and just realized it was not under my byline. Is there a quick way I can change the author on this post without having to start over and do a lot of cutting and pasting?

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

  Yes, you want the “post author” module:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/new-post-screen/#post-author

  It is down at the bottom of the “edit” page for a post.

  Let me know if you have any trouble.

  Sorry, I do not see an Author drop down menu anywhere on the page. Please direct me further.

  Thank you!

  Hi there,

  If you don’t see the Author drop down menu, you may need to turn on the Author module using the Screen Options tab in the upper right corner of that screen. We have more about that here: Screen Options

  Please let us know if you have any questions about that. :)
