  Hi,

  I have created a Gravatar with the FIrst/Last Name and Full Name entries left blank and my Display Name as “XOR LX”.
  I do not wish my personal name to appear to people accessing my Gravatar. However, although it does not appear anywhere on the Gravatar itself, the address bar neverthessl contains the text:

  http://en.gravatar.com/%5Bmy_personal_name%5D.

  How can I amend it so that my Display Name appears here instead?

  Many thanks.

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

  Your full name displays there, because that’s the username you registered. You will see the same username also displays here in the forum. The display name only applies when you’re commenting on blogs and it’s displayed in the author byline when you post. Everywhere else, including the forums, your registered username is used.

  You can change your username under Users ->Personal Settings in the dashboard. http://en.support.wordpress.com/change-your-username/
