I've created a second blog, but I want it to be completely anonymous, and in no way linked to aldoinwonderland. When I post on the new one, the post comes up as written by Aldo (me, obviously!), but can I hide that? Or would I have to create a whole new wordpress account?

Follow these instructions to permanently change your username, but please proceed slowly and with caution, understanding all the warnings along the way. This process cannot be reverted and has a couple of landmines in it that cannot be undone.

Make sure the email address associated with your account and blog is anonymous, make sure you never use it anywhere else.

2. Make sure you never use 'real names' to describe anyone you know or associate with in real life on your blog.

3. Never use your real name anywhere on your blog.

4. Never post blog-posts to your Facebook or Twitter accounts.

5. Google your name regularly to make sure you're still anonymous.

6. Change your name in the profile to something anonymous, so the "Author" will be ryding4health instead of your real name.

7. Go through your entire WordPress / Gravatar accounts and make sure your real name is nowhere.

I forgot that I had an old Twitter account attached to one of my other WordPress blogs with the same name. That was the name that has been popping up on my active Twitter account. Even though those two Twitter accounts are under different email addresses, the addresses are just different boxes I have in the same email account. Somehow, everything got linked.

I deleted my other Twitter account. However, Twitter doesn't deactivate it for 30 days. So I may need to wait 30 days to see if that does it.

So it might be a Twitter issue, not a WordPress issue. Let you know in 30 days!

If you still get the same result, can you temporarily disconnect Twitter from Publicize in Sharing Settings?

@Bryanvillarin I have uploaded an example into my Media Library. It's titled "Twitter Grab." Now that I looked at it more closely, it is definitely using my other blog information.
