 * I want to introduce guest posts on my [blog](http://www.ezaroorat.com). Is there
   a way to hide my name (default author) on guest posts? Once this is done, I can
   insert guest author’s name manually.

 * With the help of the [Template Hierarchy](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy)
   article, determine what [Template](http://codex.wordpress.org/Templates) is displaying
   your posts (likely index.php) and then look for something like the_author or 
   the_author_posts_link and delete that.

 * Is it possible to conditionalize the_author function so that the author name 
   is hidden on guest posts only but displayed on all other posts? (By imposing 
   some kind of conditions based on tag or custom field).

 * Better to start another topic for that.
