1) create another username with a different email address

2) transfer the second blog to that username as an admin

3) never post to the second blog from the first username again.

4) wait four to six months and Google will flush its cache.

I have two blogs under this account. One is a personal blog - liamcroy.wordpress.com, but the other blog is a completely different URL etc. My username is 'liamcroy' but the search engine listing for this other blog say (By Liam Croy)??

You will need to change your username if you don't want your posts associated with that name.

The google listing for my blog gives my full name. If you search for my site, it has the title and description and then says (By Liam Croy) - why does it say "(By Liam Croy)"? I definitely do not want my name in the public listing. I was planning to upgrade to a pro account, but I'll need to delete the whole blog if my name is going to appear in the listing. Has anyone had this before? I have never asked for my full name to be put in search engine listings and I want to keep the blog anonymous.

Thanks
