    Can someone please advise me on how I can make wordpress tag the blog with the authors name?

    I have three authors on my site, and they have to manually tag their posts within their writings..

    http://www.otchster.com/wordpress is my wordpress

    thanks for all input =)

    I suppose you want to add the authors name to head of the post, e.g. behind the date. Therefore you need to alter your template code a bit. Browse to Presentation -> Template Editor -> Main Index Template

    Now look for something like
    <?php the_time(‘F jS, Y’) ?>
    It should be somewhere at the top.
    Just add the following piece of code
    by <?php the_author() ?>

    So it would look something like
    …<?php the_time(‘F jS, Y’) ?> by <?php the_author() ?>…

    Hit Update File.

    Note!
    If you’re unfamiliar with editing the template files then make a backup of the your templates folder first. Also you need to change the chmod (eg 777) to be able to alter your template.
