    how to display authors personal blog name ?

    ok I have like 5 authors.. when I go to put <?php bloginfo('name'); ?>

    It displays the main blog title and not the authors personal blog title.. How would I go about doing this?

    Thanks

    The bloginfo function pulls the blog's info.

    What you want is this:
