 * Hi!
 * I am the admin of my site. I have added new authors.
 * Since i added new authors, whenever i go to post, the post goes in someone else
   name.
 * My name also does not appear in ‘post author’ below.
 * Even adding a nickname did not help
 * **Please help**

 * I am having the same problem except that I cannot change my role because I am
   also the owner of the blog. I get a message stating that ‘The current user’s 
   role must have user editing capabilities.’ I have created another administrator
   still cannot demote myself.
 * Do have any other options than creating a new user just to post?
