## Title & Alias
## Blog relationships
There are a couple things to know about your newly created blog. Each WriteFreely blog comes with an alias and a title. Both of these are taken from the name you gave your blog when you created it.
Each WriteFreely blog is publicly detached from its owner, meaning readers won't know that the same author owns any two blogs, by default. This enables writers to maintain separate real-name and pseudonymous blogs, blogs for personal and professional life, or simply different blogs for different topics.
The alias is the unique and unchangeable slug in your blog's address. In the previous example, the name "Blog for Writing" creates the alias "blog-for-writing". This will appear in the URL. For example, if your WriteFreely site address is `example.com`, then your blog address will be `example.com/blog-for-writing`. The title is the name you chose displayed on the header of your blog. If you want to change your blog's title, go to your blog's _Customize_ page. At the top of the page will be a form field with your blog's current title. Change the title to what you want and then scroll down and select "Save Changes" to save the new title.
### Privacy
To continue upon the previous example, we can change the blog's title from "Blogs for Writing" to "Blogs for Typing". Notice how the new title appears on the blog but the alias is still "blog-for-writing":

## Identity
When you create a new blog, it is a unique, individual identity. No reader can see that your blogs come from the same writer. Only you know through your _Blogs_ page. This means that each blog can be used however you want.
This design offers writers a highly convenient way to maintain multiple personas with reliable privacy from readers. However, it does not offer complete privacy from your instance admin, who can see the association between your blogs just as you can. If you need more assurance that this association won't be known, it's important that you either trust you admin with this information or take additional steps to protect yourself, such as creating multiple accounts.
