 * I’m having problems with the author in the posts.
 * When I visit my blog it says “Author:” without author, but when I login, eg, 
   with the User “Richard”, all the posts that were created by him, appears “Author:
   Richard” and the other posts without anything.
    Then I change the User to “Jake”,
   and all posts made by him appear “Author: Jake” and other “Author:” nothing …
 * How do you always show the authors, regardless of being logged in or not!?

 * Hi,
 * Add this tag in index.php and single.php file under the loop where you want to
   display the author name:
 * <?php the_author(); ?>
 * Thanks,
 * Shane G.
