Why are posts using an Akismet username instead of my real username?

  Posts I make are linked to an Akismet username, so nothing shows up in posts under my author link.

  The main page links to my profile here:
  http://rotatetranslate.com/author/jestarjokin/

  Whereas posts I make link to an Aksimet user:
  http://rotatetranslate.com/author/akismet-c6958e66c7afb1cc6623e86e48f1d79d/

  I assume this is because I signed up for Akismet to use on my self-hosted blog, before I signed up for WordPress.com to contribute to a different blog.

  How do I fix this?

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

  It’s an old error that used to happen when someone had already signed up for a WP.com account using your email address. Staff will have to fix it, and I’ve flagged this for their attention.

  Thanks for looking into this issue. Unfortunately, it looks like posts by me are still seem to be coming up under the Akismet username. e.g.

  Primordia – I, For One, Welcome Our New Robot Overlords

  Is there anything I need to do on my profile?
