   Maybe this is a stupid question.

   But I cant figure out how to make the author of a post show on the webside..?

   The WordPress Default theme has an example of the_author in the wp-content/themes/default/index.php but the code is 'commented-out' so it doesn't execute. So if you wanted to display the author info with the WordPress Default theme you would change the line in wp-content/theme/default/index.php
   from:
   <small><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> <!-- by <?php the_author() ?> --></small>
   to
   <small><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> by <?php the_author() ?> </small>

   See the template tag, the_author().

   I hope you can help me with this as well..

   How do I make the author appear when I read a single post? Right now it doesnt appear when you "push the link" of a post..
