   I'm trying to figure out how to get the author name to display on posts on my front page.

   Posts on my main page look like:

   Post Title
   filed in Category Name on Date

   I want to add: by Author Name after the date.

   Is this possible?

   Funny, I was JUST about to ask this. I think it's fairly simple, like

   <span="author">Posted by 'author'</span>

   or something loosely similar to that. I just wanna know instead of guessing. I bet there's a theme I can just snatch it from...I'll let you know.

   I figured it out, at least for my theme.

   I'm using BlackSplat 1.3

   In index.php, I added: by <?php the_author(); ?> in the section
   <div class="post">

   I figured this out on my own! :D

   I even guessed (and got lucky) on the variable name. The other variables were the_title, the_time, the_content, etc. :D

   Thanks for that tip.

   I too am using the BlackSplat theme, I cannot remember which version, but I have modified it.

   If you could post a link of your site I would appreciate looking at it.

   Here is my site with the modified BlackSplat theme: whoami-web.co.uk
