How can I keep my blog truly anonymous by NOT having my email address published?
-
A friend notified me that on my anonymous blog, my email address (which is my name) is showing up when I comment on his blog. I want to remove this feature so people just see my “handle” but not my email. Oddly, I think this just started happening and I can’t figure out what privacy settings to change. This could be both comments on others’ blogs and on my own, I’m not sure.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Register another throwaway email address and replace your current email address with it.
You have two separate email address settings at WordPress.com.
Blog notifications for the admin (like comment moderation, Likes, new subscriptions, etc) are sent to the email address at Settings -> General in the Dashboard.
Personal notifications (like comments on your post, subscription emails, and upgrade renewals) are sent to the email address at Users -> Personal Settings in the Dashboard.

Be sure to check your email client spam/junk mail filter for the verification email after you make the change.

Keep in mind that the email address is not available to the general public, only to the owner of the blog you are commenting on.
This is not new. You can see email addys of folks who comment on your blog.
