'By' line link leads to a 404 Error

    The link from my username at the ‘by’ line above each of my posts leads to a 404 error page.
    Seems to be OK when I post comments.
    I believe it is an error in the Redoable Lite Theme. I have over 600 posts and they all have the same error…
    Is there any help available?
    I would v. much appreciate it.
    Thanks!

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Looks like you’re right. When I hover over the author name link, I get this url: http://whisty.wordpress.com/author/

    It should be displaying like this: http://whisty.wordpress.com/author/whisty

    I’ve tagged this for staff to look into.

    Hi, thanks so much for taking the time to reply and for tagging my query.
    Should I just wait now and see what happens or is there anything else you think I should be doing?
    Thanks again :)
