Step 1 – change the email address on the existing username

Log into the Dashboard and go to Users > All Users > Edit your username
If the email address on your existing username is the one you want to use on the new username, then you must change it on the existing username. It doesn’t matter what you change the email address to, as you’ll be deleting this user.

Step 2 – create a new user name

Dashboard > Users > Add New > type in your new username, your first and last name, your email and type in a secure password. I use this password generator – http://www.pctools.com/guides/password/ – be sure to include at least 11 characters, upper and lower case, and punctuation. If you wish, check off the box to send the details to you in an email. Make sure you give yourself administrator rights.

Step 3 – log out and log back in as the new user

Once logged in as the new user, go to Users > All Users > mouse over the old user name and click delete. Be sure to attribute the posts to your new user.

Step 4 – hide your new username

While still in Dashboard > All Users section, mouse over your new username and Edit. Scroll down to find the “Display name publicly as” dropdown menu. Select any of these you wish, except for your username. Make sure you click the blue button to update your profile.

 
You are done! Nice job!

This is a super example of how WordPress enables low-budget non-profit and community organizations to have an attractive online presence and provide information and services to their constituents. ANC3B uses WordPress Plugins to increase the functionality of the website, including publish surveys on issues of local interests, and send out email blasts with meeting and agenda announcements.

A “before” screenshot:

Known as one of the best Brew Pubs in town, Iron Horse Taproom features lots of great brews on tap as well as skee ball, shuffleboard, and buck hunter. The design of the previous website was super strong visually, but, since it was all images (literally), did nothing to promote the ever-changing beer selection or their party-room rentals. With the new site on WordPress, Iron Horse now tweets their happy-hour promos and which games will be playing on the TVs.
