Created account, then entered a blog for discussion – blog user name was my full name as filled in when creating the amount; wanted to have a username just for the blog and tried to edit profile but no place to edit name for blogs. Where and/or how might I do this? Thanks. ---

Hi, if you tell me what you’d like your name to be, I can change it for you. ---

You can feel safe in realizing that once Carolyn changes your tag I’ll never remember your real name, Phil. Carolyn, perhaps you could move this to a private conversation until you get Phil’s tag changed??? ---

I changed the name temporarily to make it anonymous. I’m leaving the thread here so he sees it in case he doesn’t check his e-mail. When I know he knows, I can delete it. ---

I have the same problem. I cannot figure out how to send a message directly to you so I am hoping this finds you. ---

Haha I _also_ have the same problem and _also_ can’t figure out how to DM you @cdaquila so am _also_ hoping this finds you…I too wish my name to be different; it looks like it pulled my name from my email and I can’t have that on the web because it’s my actual real name. I input the nickname NoRustGus during account creation, but I can’t see it anywhere now (?). ---
