Display A Different Author Name On Your Blogger

HTML head & body tags
Most people with blogs hosted on blogspot want to have a custom author name listed on their blog instead of using the name of their blogger profile.

There are various ways of forcing your blog to ignore the name that appears on your blogger profile and instead display a name of your choice.

Step 1:
Go to Template and Edit HTML.

Step 2:
Search for the lines with the tag <data:post.author/>

Step 3:
Replace every <data:post.author/> with one of these options
  • YOUR CUSTOM NAME if you only want a text to appear there
  • Link to your home page <a expr:href='data:blog.homepageUrl'>YOUR CUSTOM NAME</a>
  • Link to your email address
    <a href="YOUR EMAIL?Subject=Hello%20again" target="_top">YOUR CUSTOM NAME</a>
  • Link to another page <a href="url link">YOUR CUSTOM NAME</a>
The last option in Step 3 is the most powerful one because it allows you to link your author name on your blogger to any page including your Facebook profile, Twitter profile, Instagram profile, Linkedin profile, etc.
