  When I create a new post for our blog, my user name is displayed. For several reasons I would like to have my user name not be shown.

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

  Unless you change to a theme that doesn’t display the author, I believe you’ll require CSS customization to hide the author on posts. The “hide author” tag support forum search results may provide an answer. See https://en.forums.wordpress.com/tags/hide-author.

  Thanks for your response. Unfortunately, I have no knowledge of CSS or how to access it for our site. The forums do not tell me how to access the CSS in order to make the change. Any help for a total beginner would be appreciated.
