]]> Did you know that you don’t have to put up with your username as being your Author name?

When you create a post WordPress saves the author details for you, some themes will display this on the blog posting. If you are logged in as the default user (admin) your post says something like: This post was written by: admin

Well that’s not great is it? However you have a way of sorting this out, here is how:

  1. Login to wp-admin
  2. Navigate to Users –> Your Profile
  3. Scroll down to the ‘Display name publicly as’ option and look in the pop up menu

So long as you have filled in First name, Last name, Nickname (in the same panel) you will see different permutations of your name which can be used for display.
