 * I’m just wondering if there is an easy way to show the author of a post? Date,
   tags, categories and number of comments are all shown but not the author. I’m
   actually using the ruby theme which I love but the lack of an author being credited
   is a bit of an obstacle on one of my public blogs.

 * Thanks Gangleri. I’m no php expert and wouldn’t have known where to start without
   that.

 * [the_author](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_author) can be used
   if in a loop.
