  I have 2 blogs on WordPress.com:
  http://thenycactor.net/ and http://aestheticnyc.wordpress.com/

  They are quite different and I’d like to be able to say The NYC Actor is the author for thenycactor.net and that Angela Dee is the author for aestheticnyc.wordpress.com but I can’t seem to figure out how to do it – or if it’s even possible. It only allows me to say that The NYC Actor is the author for both.

  Any advice/help on this?

  (I have a gravatar account with two different email addresses and images for the relevant users all housed under one gravatar)

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

  You would either have to separate the two blogs onto two different accounts, or you could create another account (needs a unique email different from the first account) and then assign that new username to the site as an administrator. You could then sign in under the different usernames to work on the different blogs.

  Alternately after setting up the second account and adding it to the original account as an admin, you can activate the “author” module in the editor window and then select which author you want the post you are working on to appear under before you publish.

  To activate the author module go to screen options while on the editor page and click the box before “author” and the module will appear down below the text area in the editor page.
