needs to see your Username
• First name – Enter your first name in
this text box
• Last name – Enter your last name in this text box
• Nickname – (mandatory) The nickname is a requirement for every user. It may be the same as your Username or it
can be different. If you don’t supply a Nickname, then the Username will be
placed in this field
• Display name publicly as – Select how your name is cited on your blog,
from the dropdown list. You can
choose from several choices: Nickname, Username, First Name, Last
Name, ‘First Last’, or ‘Last First’. If you prefer ‘Last First’, insert a comma
after your last name in the Last Name text field and choose the last option from the dropdown list. For security
reasons, it’s a good idea to keep this different from your Username
