I was starting to believe that was the case, but I still hoped there might be a way. I'll just have to make a different account, then.

Thanks so much for taking the time to respond!

While it’s true that we can change our “display name” or “nickname”, that name will appear on all blogs registered under the same username account. We can only link our username to a single “primary blog” and we can only have one gravatar per username/display name.

If you plan from the outset to have blogs that you do not want to be associated, you must be logged out of wordpress.com when you register an additional username account with a different email address.Then you can log in under each username account and register blogs separately under each username so they aren’t associated and you can have a different gravatar for each username.

I made a new blog for professional purposes and want to display my name differently from how it's shown on my personal blog. Can I have separate display names for each of them (a new one for the professional and the old one for the personal) while still logging in to the same dashboard? I didn't want to have to make an entirely new account if I can help it.

I'd like to change the fact that my whole name is showing as you access my blog. I'm not sure I realized that would happen! How do I go about changing it so that I can use a pen name or just my first name? Thanks...

I could have sworn it shown a gravatar maybe not then. What it shows now is like an error sign anytime I post on Blogger. I know it definitely didn't show that before. Two gray marks with an orange line going through the middle. I have noticed it when I post on Blogger as the logo for Open ID (not sure what that is) confused as to why it is now showing before my username. Maybe if I can sort the problem of my public name not showing this may sort itself out..

My gravatar is also not showing. It is set as G rating. So not sure what's happening as it has been allocated to my new email address.

Running out of things to try. Also cleared Cache.

I had changed my username and gravatar before all this happened. Gravatar shows up if I post on wordpress but not blogger. My display name shows on wordpress but not on Blogger. It use to do all.
