 * As I am making a blog as a couple and there are times when I am posting and when
   my better half is posting.
 * I’m looking for a simple way to add “Post by” on thumbnails of our posts so we
   can differentiate our posts.
 * I was thinking either at the bottom where the date is or potentially when you
   hover over the image. The problem with both is it has to be done for every post
   because the sequencing of our posting is not consistent.
 * I’m not much of a PHP coder so I’m looking for a simple solution but from what
   I can tell it does not have one.
 * Anyone have a fix to a problem like this? featherandthewind.com

 * I do this with the Post Author plugin on my blog [http://www.fasol.nl](http://www.fasol.nl).
   Name of the author is displayed at top of each post.
