Is is ok to change to a pen name on your account? I have articles on niche, not sure if it changes anything as far as that goes. Just making sure it does not throw the proverbial "wrench in the works'' Hope everyone had a good weekend happy Monday fun day to all.
Hi Jesse,
You can't change your user name without creating a new account on HubPages, but you can change what appears in the "Real Name" field of your profile (simply edit your profile and change the text in that section).
Thank you, Christy. Appreciate the help that's exactly what I wanted to do.

If I could get someone from the Team to clarify though, that would be terrific. Thanks.
