   Example: I'm using this in my author template file:
   <?php the_author_meta('display_name'); ?>

   nothing comes up - I replaced 'display_name' with other commands as well and nothing comes up. Am I doing something wrong?

   It's the holidays so I'll avoid the usual "Please don't bump." :)

   I think that's the right template tag, are you using it within the loop?

   I'm using it after the div id=content right above the loop.

   I want the name of the author on the right side of the avatar which for some reason it's not retrieving as well.

   Alright, now its getting the avatar since I put it in the loop - but it's nto retrieving the author's name_first command.

   Update: it will retrieve the "nickname" command but not the "first_name" command. Odd.
