Nickname in Blogger Comments
-
Whenever I leave a comment on a Blogger blog, it signs it with my WordPress username instead of the nickname that I have set up. I have changed the “nickname” and “Display Name Publicly as” fields and updated my profile, but my signature is still my username. Is there a fix for this or is it another Blogger shortcoming?
-
When I leave the comment, I am signing in with my WordPress OpenID, not my Blogger profile. Using the OpenID, shouldn’t it look back to what I have set up in my WordPress profile?
-
Aha, forgive me :)
As far as I’m aware, yes, it should. Let me check that out and get back to you.

I thought OpenID takes the name from the url? At least that’s what it did for me somewhere.

The first time I set up commenting on a blogger site there was a dialog box where I could put in my preferred nickname and my wordpress url. WordPress did ask for my approval on this once. (something like “blogger is asking for this information – okay to send it to blogger sites?” and I chose “yes, always for this site”) My username and link displayed correctly the first time I previewed my comment but once I hit publish and then every time since, on every blogger site I comment at, it has displayed my blog name rather than my username/nickname.
It seems like blogger is retrieving this info from wordpress each time I comment somewhere. Somehow it’s set wrong, maybe?? Is it possible to reset?
-
I was able to reset by going to options/Open ID and deleting blogger from my trusted sites list. The blogger comments did display my nickname “beatgrl” correctly once, then it reverted to “fourthcorner” again.
Sigh, I guess a temporary fix could be to set it to ask permission everytime I comment on blogger.

That’s what I do. Sometimes I want to use a Blogger ID, sometimes I want to use my WP.com ID and sometimes I want to use an outside ID. It’s a bit of a PIA, but what can you do?

This is realy problematic.. its sucks to autorise everytime, but and you give permant permission, you get wrong nickname allways..
