  I’ve gone into my wordpress account settings and set my homepage to be my blog. However, when I post replies to other wordpress blogs, my name just says ‘nariposa’ without it being a hyperlink to nariposa.wordpress.com. How do I fix this?

  Note: my name on this forum is linked to my blog, but that is the only place it works.

  It works just fine here as well. Can you give us an example of a place where it does NOT work? A specific URL, please.

  Yep: http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.wordpress.com/2008/04/07/white-problems-poorly-read-partners/#comment-41345

  ‘nariposa’ isn’t hyperlinked to my website, but if you scroll down to the comment from rationalpsychic left on the same post at April 8, 2008 at 10:36 pm you will see his name linked to his wordpress blog:
  http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.wordpress.com/2008/04/07/white-problems-poorly-read-partners/#comment-40453

  And here’s another comment on another wordpress blog that isn’t linked back to my own:

  Thanks.

  raincoaster —

  I saw your old post on this where you said you set this function under “Website” on your profile, not under “Primary Blog”.

  Well, I have my profile “Website” set to http://nariposa.wordpress.com/

  But the “Primary Blog” says dashboard.wordpress.com, and it does NOT allow me to edit the field.

  I have never had any other blogs or accounts or emails on wordpress.

  Questions:
  1. What does “Primary Blog” do,
  2. how can I change it to nariposa.wordpress.com, and
  3. How do I solve my original question (I want comments left elsewhere to have my username hyperlinked to my blog)

  Thanks.

  I am having the exact same issue. I can leave comments on other blogs but my name doesn’t link back to my blog. It’s just my name without it being a hyperlink.

  This drives me crazy. I always have to log out of WordPress and then log back in before leaving a comment on another WordPress blog so my link is attached.

  @hookedonhouses

  Go to users > your profile and make sure your blog URL is listed in website field under “contact info.”

  The other thing I would do, is log out and clear your cookies. It may be a corrupt cookie.

  Thanks thesacredpath! I just assumed it was the way things were done on WordPress and never thought there was anything I could do about it. I’ll give that a try.
