    I would love to see the author of the post listed with the blog post in an RSS feed. I have a multi-author blog (www.hardcore-troubadours.com) and it would be great if the posts came through listed as something other than "Admin."

    I am running everything through Feedburner, using the atom feed. My source code looks like this:

    <?php
    /**
     * Atom Feed Template for displaying Atom Posts feed.
     *
     * @package WordPress
     */
    
    header('Content-Type: application/atom+xml; charset=' . get_option('blog_charset'), true);
    $more = 1;
    
    ?>
    <?php echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="'.get_option('blog_charset').'"?'.'>'; ?>
    <feed
      xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"
      xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0"
      xml:lang="<?php echo get_option('rss_language'); ?>"
      xml:base="<?php bloginfo_rss('home') ?>/wp-atom.php"
      <?php do_action('atom_ns'); ?>
     >
    	<title type="text"><?php bloginfo_rss('name'); wp_title_rss(); ?> - by <?php the_author('nickname'); ?></title>
    	<subtitle type="text"><?php bloginfo_rss("description") ?></subtitle>
    
    	<updated><?php echo mysql2date('Y-m-d\TH:i:s\Z', get_lastpostmodified('GMT')); ?></updated>
    	<?php the_generator( 'atom' ); ?>
    
    	<link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="<?php bloginfo_rss('home') ?>" />
    	<id><?php bloginfo('atom_url'); ?></id>
    	<link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="<?php self_link(); ?>" />
    
    	<?php do_action('atom_head'); ?>
    	<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
    	<entry>
    		<author>
    			<name><?php the_author('nickname') ?></name>
    			<?php $author_url = get_the_author_url(); if ( !empty($author_url) ) : ?>
    			<uri><?php the_author_url()?></uri>
    			<?php endif; ?>
    		</author>
    		<title type="<?php html_type_rss(); ?>"><![CDATA[<?php the_title_rss() ?>]]></title>
    		<link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="<?php the_permalink_rss() ?>" />
    		<id><?php the_guid(); ?></id>
    		<updated><?php echo get_post_modified_time('Y-m-d\TH:i:s\Z', true); ?></updated>
    		<published><?php echo get_post_time('Y-m-d\TH:i:s\Z', true); ?></published>
    		<?php the_category_rss('atom') ?>
    		<summary type="<?php html_type_rss(); ?>"><![CDATA[<?php the_excerpt_rss(); ?>]]></summary>
    <?php if ( !get_option('rss_use_excerpt') ) : ?>
    		<content type="<?php html_type_rss(); ?>" xml:base="<?php the_permalink_rss() ?>"><![CDATA[<?php the_content('', 0, '') ?>]]></content>
    <?php endif; ?>
    <?php atom_enclosure(); ?>
    <?php do_action('atom_entry'); ?>
    		<link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="<?php the_permalink_rss() ?>#comments" thr:count="<?php echo get_comments_number()?>"/>
    		<link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="<?php echo get_post_comments_feed_link(0,'atom') ?>" thr:count="<?php echo get_comments_number()?>"/>
    		<thr:total><?php echo get_comments_number()?></thr:total>
    	</entry>
    	<?php endwhile ; ?>
    </feed>

    Right now in my RSS feed it displays the title and the admin contact info exactly the same, no matter who the author is, i.e.:

    The Voice That Launched a Thousand Ships by webmaster@hardcore-troubadours.com (www.hardcore-troubadours.com)

    I would like it to read:

    The Voice That Launched a Thousand Ships from HCT by Mick

    Do I change this is the wp-includes/feed-atom.php file? Somewhere in the Dashboard? On Feedburner? I have been through hundreds of posts in the support forums and all over Google and I cannot find an answer to this. Any help is much appreciated.
