You can now also use a custom name in Blogger Comments

nicknameIf you have a lengthy name like mine :p then may be you would like to use a nick name instead when you publish new posts. This name will appear normally like your profile name under your post titles and visitors can see who the author is. By default in all BlogSpot blogs the name of the author display is one with which appears in all his blogs. But sometimes you may want a different name to be displayed if you own an associated blog. I have also come up with a code that will display different author names on label pages. I will share it soon.

  1. I really appreciate this, Mohammad. Just recently I'd noticed that my full name was replaced on my Profile page with my nickname, which I previously used only in post footers on my blog and in comments on others' blogs. (I'm not sure how I was able to differentiate before, but I suspect that Blogger had some kind of 'display full name' field in Profile settings that's gone — just another one of the service's "upgrades".) I'm very grateful for this fix, so that I can use my nickname in post footers while keeping my full name on my Profile page, but what I really want is to keep my full name on my Profile page while using a nickname in comments on my and others' blogs like I always have. Any workaround for that?
