  It’s not possible to set your blog post titles to automatically appear on two lines without editing the CSS. If you intend to purchase a custom design upgrade please use this link https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/css-customization#postform so you can copy and paste your text into a thread that will appear in the CSS Forum where you will get a definitive how to answer.

  See here for details on purchasing the annually renewable custom and CSS editing:

  Otherwise your theme will provide only one line for the titles of your posts and will automatically set the line length. Search engines will only display a limited number of characters so creating lengthy post titles is never in your best interest.

  The @ symbol belongs in email addresses only or can be use on the Twitter site. It is not a accepted legitimate means of identifying the author of a post.

  The point of displaying an author name is to differentiate the posts on an multi-author site. 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.

  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/
