   Could be as simple as adding the_author() template tag to your index.php file.

   See:
   Template_Tags/the_author

   If you need more help you might want to provide a link...

   Since you're going to be modifying your theme you might want to take a look at these:

   Templates
   Template_Tags
   Template_Tags/the_author

   I didn't test this but in your wp-content/themes/pool/index.php try replacing:

   <small><?php the_time('F j, Y on g:i a'); ?> | In <?php the_category(', ') ?> | <?php comments_popup_link('No Comments', '1 Comment', '% Comments'); ?></small>

   with

   <small>By <?php the_author(); ?> | <?php the_time('F j, Y on g:i a'); ?> | In <?php the_category(', ') ?> | <?php comments_popup_link('No Comments', '1 Comment', '% Comments'); ?></small>
