  I have started a second blog. I want to use a different nick name on the new one but when I change it, it also changes the name I use on the new one.

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

  I’m not sure but I think you would have to use two different email addresses for each blog

  Correct. If both blogs A and B are in the same account (user A), you can sign up for a wordpress username with a different email (user C). From account A you can then invite user C to be an administrator on blog B. You can then log in to blog B with username C and write with a different nickname.

  Oh. Well it’s too late now because I’ve signed up under the same account and if I cancel the new blog I’ll lose the name. This seems to be an oversight by WordPress. Surely we should be able to have two blogs under the one account but use different nick names for posting & commenting on each. Why not?

  Not really. In the case above, blogs are separated, but both A and C are administrators on blog B. If you log in as A you can select A or B as author for any post on C.

  I’ll give that a try.
