How do you make additional miners?
I have two computers, and it seems once they solve a block, they stop working and just wait until the next block.

You need to follow the same steps (https://steemit.com/steem/@r3b37/steem-mining-for-windows-update-1) but do not define witness on more than one machine.
Thanks, I've done that, but under
name of miner and its private key (e.g. ["account","WIF PRIVATE KEY"] )
I only have one account correct and thus one miner name?
I see people with numerous miner names, do I have to make new steemit accounts for each miner?
That would be a lot of reddit or fb accounts
Either you can make multiple accounts and use those credentials or use the same account name in miner. To be honest I used the same account when I mined on 2 machines but most of the posts I read they have been using multiple accounts, may be there's some small benefit to it but a lot of account management and I am lazy lol ;)
Thanks, do you have an example of the settings you use?
Where the account is the same, but with multiple miner names?
when you are using one account for all miners, you just need to skip the 'witness' thing for all the miner instances except one. Rest everything remains same in the config file for every machine.
