All of my blog posts show ‘posted by’ and then my full email address. I don’t want my email address shown. How do I change this?

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Thank you! I wish that resolved the issue but it doesn’t. My display name already shows as something completely different.

What is the other site’s address, please? The only other site I see in your account is a self-hosted site, http://www.livelovelupus.com/. I don’t have any access to that site, and we’re not able to help you with it here.

If that’s the site, please ask in the self-hosted forums instead, though I’m guessing it’s doing that because you’ve set your email address as the admin username on the site. You should be able to change it via Users ->My Profile in the WP-Admin dashboard for that site. This is not a change you can make via your WordPress.com account, as the problem is with the user profile in the site’s own database.

For more help with this, you can find the self-hosted forums here:
