   Hi,

   I am new to WP but have just created a new WP 2.6.5 thru Fantastico.

   I signed on with one ID and have come to see that that ID is used as the suthor of my blogs. can I use another author name other than the main ID.

   Thanks

   oz :-)

   <?php the_author(); ?> is the template tag that displays the info contained in the field at Dashboard>Users>Your Profile. Look under Name for Display name publicly as

   You can either change the Nickname just above that field then select it from the drop down menu at Display name publicly as or, after changing the Nickname you can use <?php the_author_nickname(); ?> instead of <?php the_author(); ?> in your theme files.

   IMHO , aafter changing the nickname, you do not really to change the template tag ... It will show the nick also with <?php the_author(); ?>
