    Is there a way to have Articles show an alias instead of the admin user's login username when displaying a blog post?

    I could change the displayed text to fullname, but I assume that doing that with the href would mean that the link wouldn't work. Leaving username in the href would mean the user's login username would be in the page source, no?

    I'm probably missing something simple, but can't think what it might be.

      It would also be useful if Articles would allow for any user to be attached to the article, not just the one who is creating/editing it. If I'm converting pages into articles, or even creating the articles for a client, I need to log out and then back in under the appropriate user so that the article doesn't show as created by me.

      Articles should pull from the user's name, or an alias that is chosen for the purpose. Not the username. That really does leave a security vulnerability right there in the open. Half of the equation is in plain sight if someone really wanted to start guessing with passwords.
