 * really quick because i cant seem to find this on the dash…i have several authors
   posting to one blog…yet the blogs look like they came from the same person…
 * is there any way to make each post have a “posted by” at the bottom or something?
 * or is there an option in the dash i am not seeing?
 * thanx in advance for n00b help…

 * Normal themes come with that included.
    Use the_author template tag where you
   want the author’s name displayed. [http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_author](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_author)

 * Hmm. I still don’t see it on your blog (linked from your name) but glad it worked
   out.
    You can put in any template (index, archive, single – or all of the above)
   and usually it is in the meta section: either where the date is or at the bottom
   where the category of the post is shown.
