  I have two authors for my blog, and I’d like us to have distinct online personalities. How do I get there to be a byline under each post title?

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

  Hello!
  In regards to author bylines, they seem to be theme specific (some themes allow them and some do not)

  It appears a possible workaround exists:

  Alternatively, you might consider using an author widget:

  Does that resolve the question?

  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:
