A Quick Question About LJ

How do I alter the name that appears in front of my LJ username when commenting, or in the emails that tell you you've had a comment? You know, the one that looks like this:

Something Pleasantly Witty [livejournal.com profile] dolorous_ett wrote:

instead of dolorous_ett [livejournal.com profile] dolorous_ett wrote:

Some of my friends have done this, to great effect. I'd really like to do it too - I'm in the mood for inventing something equally quirky and witty for myself.

The trouble is, FAQ doesn't say anything about how to do it, and I'm not sure where else to look. Any hints?

ETA: I have the answer! And [livejournal.com profile] theregoesyamum has supplied it! And it was really, really easy! It turned out to be sooooo easy that I was tempted to delete the whole question. But I decided to leave it, so that passers by could point and laugh.

All you need to do is just type in whatever name you want after the coding. For instance, all I'm going to do is instead of typing theregoesyamum I will type gunisapoohead. Like so: [profile] gunisapoohead.

So instead of typing dolorous_ett you would type iampavonisandilikerustyspoosn or something to the effect.

You are a gentle and worthy ornament to the community. Now I think I'll root around for something to put in mine. ;D

This is NOT a stupid question, so there. There's so much I don't know about lj, it's sickening. Plus you got to use that adorable confused icon.

I would have changed mine, but I couldn't think of anything even mildly quirky and witty. :)
ext_39476: Found it in an lj-friend's comment (Hmmmmm ...)
