  Currently my “by” line is my username — which has no meaning. How do I change it (e.g. my name)? Thanks.

  Some themes provide author bylines ie. uersnames and some don’t. A few themes provide author profiles below posts but not many do. http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2009/08/15/author-displayed-or-not/ If you want you actual name to appear then you either have to register a username account using your actual name so that can happen automatically, or you have to type in an author byline as the first line on every post you publish.
