[Plugin: WordPress.com Popular Posts] Feature Request: %post_author% function

I love your plugin. The output is more easily customizable than WordPress Popular Posts. I also like that it runs off of WordPress Stats, so that it utilizes all my old page view data instead of collecting its own data from the time it was activated.

I’d like to be able to display the page/post author just like I can display comment count, page views, and publication date. Could you add this feature? Thanks!
