 * How can I have the authors name appear on posts and or pages they write, and 
   even their picture ?
 * Thanks

 * hzemall, in your theme on single.php there is the beginning of the loop:
 *     ```
       <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   
       		<div class="post">
       ```
   
 * After this there is something like this:
 * `<h2 id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><a href="<?php echo get_permalink() ?>" rel
   ="bookmark" title="Permanent Link: <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?
   > <small> von <?php the_author_posts_link(); ?></small></a></h2>`
 * In this I linked the author to the author profile by `<?php the_author_posts_link();?
   >`. If you don’t want it as a link, you can use `<?php the_author(); ?>` instead.
 * To get a photo look for plugins with avatars or gravatars (I don’t know, because
   I don’t have them.)
 * Greetings,
    Rita
