This great plugin, written with multimedia agency Tzav, adds the author and date at the top or bottom of the content on posts, on pages and on categories (optionally along with last modified date and author), with a fully custom per-post / per-page hide option. Especially usefull for multi-author sites and blogs:

• Name of the author of the post or page, optional avatar
• Date of first publication
• Author and date of last revision

It is flexible and offers the following options in the admin menu:

• Write your own label before and after the name of the author: e.g. Contributed by Author Name for OurNewsBlog
• Date of 1st publication is optional, and supports surrounding text like above
• Author and date of last revision are both independantly optional, and only display if revision date is different from publishing date, with surrounding text
• Display the information at the bottom of posts or pages or both
• Optional link on author name to WP's default author bio page or any other specific page/URL you want
• Specific per-post/per-page exception: hide the information on any post and page you want!
• Choose: before or after the content or the excerpt
• Add author (with optional link and date) on listing pages (like home or categories)

The plugin is initially intended for very small to much larger multi-author blogs (newspaper, magazine, webzine, collaborative publications, communities...) when an article is supposed to be signed by its author and not remain anonymous, as commonly expected in journalism and publishing.

• Lastly, information is displayed in nested div and span so it is CSS ready, just up to you to do the styling to your taste. See the screenshots.
• Integrates great with qTranslate for multilingual or international blogs, using Quicktags
• Available in English, French, Belarusian (credit Marcis Gasuns) and German (credit Rian Kremer).

Notice: Please, after you download the plugin, TRANSLATE it, HELP debug by reporting anything going wrong, but mostly if you like it, RATE IT!
