How to remain a known and an anonymous author on two blogs simultaneously
-
One: When I follow others’ blogs, do they see my username or the blog name in their notifications? I’ve not included my name in one of my blogs’ address nor I’ve mentioned author’s name on my posts.
Two: When I reply to a comment on my blog, it shows my username. When I reply as another person, it doesn’t seem I’m the blog’s author. Is there any way to remain an anonymous blogger and a known blogger on two blogs managed from the same wp account? I had doubts about this but I wanted to make it easier for me to manage both in one account so that I don’t have to log into two accounts. Help will be much appreciated. :)

Hi Nihalfarid,
One: When I follow others’ blogs, do they see my username or the blog name in their notifications?
Yes. Usually they will receive email notification that you have followed their blog unless they have turned off this feature in the Dashboard. But even with notifications turned off, they can still see their followers by going to Dashboard -> Site Stats and scrolling down to the section called Totals, Followers & Shares and clicking on Blog followers. This list will include the username of the follower and their blog address.
Is there any way to remain an anonymous blogger and a known blogger on two blogs managed from the same wp account?
No, not as far as I’m aware. If you want to comment as another person on the same blog, then you need to log in under a different username. But be aware that doing this may be construed as sock puppetry and is generally frowned upon. It’s perfectly fine to be anonymous and to comment under a pseudonym, but not to pretend to be more than one individual on the same blog.
However, if you want to maintain two separate blogs, one that is anonymous and one that is not, this is fine but you will need to sign up with a different email address and username. I think! Hopefully someone will correct me if I’ve got this wrong. :-)
