 * Is it possible to have two different WordPress.org websites using the same email
   address whilst displaying different usernames when posts are created?
 * I have set up 3 websites using one email address, but not sure if I should create
   a separate email address for each WordPress website, what is the best practice
   for this, is it recommended to create the main email address for a WordPress 
   website using the company email address or separate email addresses for each 
   website?

 * I can’t see that at matters, one way or the other, as long as you can tell apart
   emails when they’re coming from multiple sites. I like this trick…. If your email
   uses gmail or a Google account, the “+” symbol is useful because everything after
   the + is not part of the address. So you could use “name+site1@gmail.com”, “name
   +site2@gmail.com”, etc. While both will be delivered to “name@gmail.com”, you
   can use a filter to set different labels on each and its really clear where the
   email came from.

 * Thanks, I do not use gmail only hotmal, the issue i am having is that the gravatar
   icon cannot be changed for each separate website and dont want to have so many
   email addresses for different websites, especially since i run 3 and am looking
   to expand.

 * So, each WP site is separate, so you can use the same or different user names.
   It doesn’t matter; they don’t talk to each other.
