 * On my wife’s blog, when she posts answers to a comment left for a post, it says“
   Admin” and then the date. I have been unable to locate where this “Admin”, can
   be changed to a name. can anyone help?

 * You can change this from your dashboard. Go to users –>your profile and enter
   your name. Then you will find a field “Display Name Publicly as”. Select your
   name from this drop down box and click on save..

 * thanks, I’ve done that, but I see it didn’t change any of the old comments. I
   went back into the comments section and changed the old ones to her name. I’ll
   wait to see what happens when she responds to another comment. Thanks again.
