   i installed feedwordpress at http://artistauctions.net and it's working great. the plugin author says he uses the following code to get the authors' names into the post titles:

   <cite class="feed">from <?php the_author_posts_link()?><?php
   if (is_syndicated() and (get_the_author() !== get_syndication_source())):
       echo ' @ <a href="';  the_syndication_source_link(); echo '">';
       the_syndication_source();
       echo '</a>';
   endif; ?></cite>

   and that: "For example, here is the template code that I use (in a post context) to display both the author’s name and the original source of the post in the templates "

   where do i put that code???? help! i am not a strong programmer, please be kind. :-)

   I think that what you want to do is look for this line of code in your template:

   <h1><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>

   and change it to:

   <h1><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a> <cite class="feed">from <?php the_author_posts_link()?><?php
   if (is_syndicated() and (get_the_author() !== get_syndication_source())):
       echo ' @ <a href="';  the_syndication_source_link(); echo '">';
       the_syndication_source();
       echo '</a>';
   endif; ?></cite></h1>

   Thank you for respondin, that makes sense... But it doesn't work. Is there maybe a place i need to "turn on" get_the_author, get_syndication_source and the others?

   Not sure if it will help but I use Feedwordpress Attribution for this.
   http://projects.radgeek.com/add-attribution-feedwordpress/

   It gave me a quick and dirty way to add authors and other neat attributions. Good luck!
