How do I add a single post’s category to the header in the Toolbox theme?

This is the code from the functions.php:

function toolbox_posted_on() {
	printf( __( '<span class="sep">Posted on </span><a href="%1$s" title="%2$s" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date" datetime="%3$s" pubdate>%4$s</time></a><span class="byline"> <span class="sep"> by </span> <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="%5$s" title="%6$s" rel="author">%7$s</a></span></span>', 'toolbox' ),
		esc_url( get_permalink() ),
		esc_attr( get_the_time() ),
		esc_attr( get_the_date( 'c' ) ),
		esc_html( get_the_date() ),
		esc_url( get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ) ),
		esc_attr( sprintf( __( 'View all posts by %s', 'toolbox' ), get_the_author() ) ),
		esc_html( get_the_author() )
	);
}

I got it in kind of a round about way using wordpress built in functions rather than toolbox.

Look at content.php and find the first entry-meta div
```
<div class="entry-meta">
			<?php toolbox_posted_on(); ?>
```
To get the categories you can add this to the line.
```
<div class="entry-meta">
			<?php toolbox_posted_on(); ?>
			from category <?php the_category(', '); ?>
		</div>
```

to add the authors name you can just tack in

<?php the_author() ?>
