Look in the index.php file in your theme folder.
In there, you will see something like this:
<!-- by <?php the_author() ?> -->
Change that to
by <?php the_author() ?>
THat’s an awfully long entry page for a website.
Try to make it shorter = only a few posts displayed, if you want anybody to take a look at your code (show some respect for your visitors 🙂
Otherwise, for displaying the author – use the_author template tag, See more: http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags#Author_tags
And don’t yell in your title! It’s considered bad, rude manner…

If it’s a matter of settings, you will probably want to check under ‘My Account’ on the dashboard rather than in the ‘Settings’ tab.
If you think it’s a code issue, check the contents of your post loop, which is everything in between
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
and
<?php endif; ?>
in your index.php (also archive.php, page.php etc. if you have them).
After the date, you will want to add in this:
by <?php the_author()
It looks like you modified Kubrick, so my guess is it’s already there, but in comments tags.
Also, just FYI it helps to describe your problem in the title and not will all-caps. Just a friendly reminder:)
moshu i dont use it as a blog like u guys do… i use it as a news section for my website which is celticspride.net… i am not sure what you are saying but dont worry i dont use it like u guys do… ill try and edit that code u guys said to in afew minutes… thanks for your help.
OMG!!! BIG PROBLEM!!! MUST SHOUT!!!!
sorry. But seriously, as Moshu said, that page is absurdly big. 1049490 bytes. That’s 1.04 megabytes. On a dialup connection that page will take a couple minutes to load. I’d try to make it about a 10th that size if you don’t want people to click away instantly (assuming their browser doesn’t fry)

I don’t care in what way you are using it. You put a link in your help request and THAT page is extremely big. Period. Personally I always take it as an offense when “u guys” leave a link to such a long page: not only we have to download it in the browser, but usually we have to look at the source code, too… so, a little bit of consideration toward those who are willing to help – would be nice.
i have no idea about it… im sorry, i dont get why its such a big deal, im new to this and did not know… i made it smaller and i said thank you to everyone for their help… u guys are making big deals out of small things. sorry!
Why it’s a big deal: those who have broadband access of any variety seem almost instantly to go into “I don’t give a rat’s ass” mode as regards how large the pages are.
Why this is a problem: no matter what you’d like to believe, far more people are still on dialup access than are on broadband. If those who have the normal method of access (dialup) have to wait more than A FEW SECONDS AT MOST for your page to load, they just won’t do it.
Why they won’t do it: because no matter how unique you think your content is, it’s ALL AVAILABLE SOMEWHERE ELSE ONLINE.
So – you want people to stick around your site? Make the pages small kb-wise and fast load-time-wise. Otherwise, say bye-bye to traffic….
believe me, I know all about the dialup user’s mind.
At the moment I’m on what claims to be 2 megs a second, so that page only took a few seconds to load, but it was easily apparent that it was a massive page, as a normal site comes in nearly instantly.
That said, I spent several years on a connection that peaked at 1 kilobyte a second. I kid you not.
A page like that would take 1000 seconds to load, or nearly 17 minutes. It’s a small minority of web surfers who will wait 17 minutes for a page to load.
