    How do I get two different display names to show? I want a different display name for each one of my blogs.

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

    If I’m understanding correctly, you have two different blogs on one account—both associated with the same email address. That means that the gravatar and display name for each of them is from your primary blog.

    You can sign up for a new account with a new email address, then transfer ownership of one of your blogs to the new account:

    Drawback of this is that you’ll have to keep signing in-to and out-of accounts in order to work on the two blogs. Or you could use two different browsers so you’re signed in for blog “A” on (for example) FireFox, and you’re signed in for blog “B” on (for example) Chrome. That means you would become a different person as far as wp.com is concerned.

    The other option is to sign up for a new account with a different email address and username. You’ll have a pseydonym! Then you could invite that second identity as a co-administrator on the second blog. As owner-administrator you can then chose who will appear as the author of each post, and that included the display name and gravatar.
