Author name not visible on my blog
-
When I post a blog, I do not see my name as the author anywhere. How can readers see my name and description?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Whether or not a byline appears is theme dependent. Some themes do not provide bylines at all. Themes that do provide bylines require the person to be an actual official author of the blog. Regardless of the theme, and provided the theme is designed to display a byline, bylines will only display now if there are at least two authors who both have at least one published post in the blog.
For a single author workaround for a byline display see here http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2012/01/03/wordpress-com-changes-bylines-for-authors/
Very few themes have an author profile that displays below every post. The data is derived from here > Dashboard > Users > My Profile > About You (section) and anything you add there appears on your Gravatar profile page as well.
For a list of themes that do or do not display author bylines and/or author profiles see > http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2009/08/15/author-displayed-or-not/ The wpbtips post lists themes created up to December 2011. There is a newer post that lists themes created from January 2012 through July 2014: http://danielgreene.com/2014/07/20/blog-2014-free-wordpress-themes-that-show-author-bylines/
There is no limitation on the total number of authors. If you’d like to invite others to publish posts or help approve comments on your blog, you can invite them to be a Contributor, Editor, or Author. If you want users to receive updates each time you publish new content you can invite them to be a follower/viewer.
