  I have two blogs under the same username, dapplegrey. On one blog, Invisible Horse, I want to be anonymous and this is the name I want to display. On my other site, Deborah Rehmat, Artist, I want to show my name as author of the blog posts and on my reply to comments. Can I change the publicly displayed name on just one blog and not the other?

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

  Two or more sites under the same account will show the same display name.

  In order to separate them, you’ll have to create a new account with a new username/email address and then transfer ownership of the site from the existing account to the new account.

  Ok, I thought that might be so. Thanks for clearing that up. How do I transfer ownership from the existing site to a new account once I’ve set it up?

  I think my issue is not so much with the name as with the address. For some reason, my blog became everythingwithpaperdotcom.com instead of just everythingwithpaper.com. Is there a way of changing it without having to go through changing the password, etc.?

  Thanks, justjennifer, for that link on transferring to a new account – I’ll study it carefully and then have a go. It’s great to be able to get help like this, I’m really grateful for your help!
