How to Change Your Username on WordPress Blog

Is your username on your WordPress blog “admin?”

If you want to personalize your blog by changing the username from admin to something that represents you, following are the directions:

Go to your Dashboard, scroll down to the Users panel, which is on the left-hand side, and select Your Profile.  On the Profile page, insert your desired new public username in the field that says “Nickname (required).” In the field directly below that, which reads “Display name publicly as,” select from the drop-down how you want your name cited on your blog (your new username). There is no need to save your settings prior to doing this; the drop-down menu will automatically populate with your new username, which you entered in the Nickname field. Click on the “Update Profile” button at the bottom of the screen. Your new public username is now changed.

Outsource it To Your Virtual Assistant

ritajoblack1For those of you who are entrepreneurs and small business owners and are in need of a new website, consider creating it with WordPress software.

The software is free. The only costs to you are domain and hosting fees. There is no need for you to purchase website development software. The self-hosting version of WordPress allows you to create an entire website, manipulate the codes for customization, and has a lot of available plugins. Plugins are snippets of computer programming that can be added to WordPress, which gives it the ability to do almost anything you can think of. Click here for more information on the most popular plugins available and their capabilities.

You can also make edits, changes, and updates quickly and easily. However, it is very time-consuming to set up your site and there is a learning curve. There are business professionals who can teach you how to set up your site. However, if you are limited on time, this serves you no purpose. On the other hand, there are virtual assistants who have the skills and experience to create your site for you.

So, if you are limited on time or don’t want to be bothered with it, outsource this task to your Virtual Assistant. S/he can set up and maintain your site, which will save you time, as well as allow you to focus on your products and/or services.
