    Many blogs also have multiple authors, and showing the name is a necessity. I’d open a ticket to submit my patch for added features on the default theme, but I don’t want to open it if those features are intentionally being withheld.

    Currently there are no links anywhere to the category or author feeds, and since many themes are based off the default they consequently don’t have those links either. As a result users don’t know these features exist (and they’ve asked me for them). If people know about them they’re more likely to use them, and if it’s in the default theme more theme authors are likely to discover them too. I also made the author’s name a link to the author archive page since there’s no way to find that page either (that I know of).

    I feel that not showing the author is more annoying than potentially not needing it. It’s no more cumbersome than displaying the date on every post. You say it can be uncommented if you want it, but I could also make the argument it’s just as easy to comment out if you don’t want it.

    It’s much easier to remove a feature you know about than to add a feature you don’t know about.

    By that logic, perhaps they should say they’re using Movable Type just to throw hackers off.

    Can anyone tell me the plugin used that’s depicted here? This is the exact functionality that I want for my blogs.

    My mistake, it must be a WordPress-MU issue. I’ll be sure to post it on the correct board this time.

    I was quite dismayed to discover that my admin console contained advertising. I don’t see any way to turn it off so I’m forced to alter the code and remember that every time I upgrade. I don’t mind if the authors want to push agendas on their own site, but not on mine.
