Post under different author names (3 posts)

    Right now, we've got 5 blogs going. 4 users have their own blog, and they all collaborate on the 5th blog. But on the 5th blog, they want to post under a different name (example: they want to post as "Edward D" on their individual blog, and "Client 1" on the group blog). Any idea on how to do this?

    Oddly enough I am having the same problem. It is not a problem with every blog, just some of them. On some blogs even though the users have been added to the blog, they can login to that blog and write a post, it always shows the original blogowner as the author and not the logged in user who just posted.
    Since this is only on some, and not all blogs I am guessing that there is a setting problem somewhere but for the life of me I cannot figure out where. It is probably right under my nose but then again I wear glasses.

    doh!
    I just figured out what was wrong.
    It seems that in order for other authors to be listed as the author, they cannot be set as an Administrator of that blog. They can be a SiteAdmin, but not an Admin on that blog.

    Can someone confirm or deny??!!

    ecaron: I hope this fixes your problem as well.
