   Hi.

   I have looked through this forum for help and found this http://wordpress.org/support/topic/29901?replies=4

   and also looked through the Codex, but I haven't been able to solve my problem.

   I can't get an author name to display on my blog.

   I'm using the default theme. Here's the code from my index.php file:

   <!-- by <?php the_author('firstname') ?>

   Any thoughts on what else I need to do to get names to display?

   Thanks!

   Get rid of the HTML comment tags around it:

   <!-- by <?php the_author('firstname') ?> -->

   should be:

   by <?php the_author('firstname') ?>
