 * I’ve got a WordPress install running the Comicpress theme for a webcomic I’m 
   starting, however I need to know how to add the name of the author to the post.
 * Ideally, it would be something like
 * Title/Permalink
    By [Author] | Date
 * The Title and Date are already formatted like that, I just don’t know what the
   PHP code I’d need to add the author and perhaps where to put it.
 * Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance,

 * `<?php the_author(); ?>` will just display the name.
 * I use `<?php the_author_posts_link(); ?>`
