Lively discussions on the graphic arts and publishing — in print or on the web

I started to install Wordpress, and then backed off. It asks for an Administrator Name and Administrator Nickname. But it doesn't say how these will be used. Are they publicly displayed? Is the Administrator Nickname used as the name for the writer of the blog? And what about the Administrator's email address.

Anyway, I guess I could install and then find out. But I have done this too many times with forum software. And this time I'd like to not get done with the install, only to find out that my choices for the Admin will create problems.
