  I have several blogs and I do not wish to have the same author name on all of them. Is it possible to have a different author name displayed on each of my blogs? I know how to change my display name on my profile, but this changes my author name across all blogs. I am not wanting one author name for all blogs, but to change my author name for each individual blog that I have created. Anyone know if this is even possible?

  What you would have to do is to create additional username accounts with each having a unique email address, and then you would transfer the blogs you want to separate to those new user accounts.

  Thank you for the reply, but if I did that, wouldn’t I have to log out of one account and log back in under the new account ID? I do not wish to have to log in and out under separate IDs, which is why I registered a new blog under my current profile/ID/email acct instead of creating a whole new profile and WordPress account.

  I guess now my question is, can I change my author display name to something different on each blog that I own without having to create a whole new account for each blog that I own?

  No, I’m sorry you can’t. The only option we have for username changes is stated here. > http://en.support.wordpress.com/change-your-username/
