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

Your blog is private and I cannot see the theme so I do not know if you are asking how to make author bylines appear for authors you have added or if you need help adding authors.
You can have either a public or a private blog and there is no limitation on the total number of contributors to any blog. 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.
See here:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/adding-users/ and here http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/The person will have to register a username account but does not need to register a blog. That requirement is because the software has to be able to differentiate between hackers and official users and allow access only to those with username accounts and official roles on the blog.
They will need to click the “Accept Invitation” button in the invitation email. If they are logged into their WordPress.com account, they will be taken directly to your blog. If not, they will be taken to the log-in screen, where they can either log in or create a new user account.
Note that users who create a new WordPress.com account at that point will still need to return to the invitation email and click the “Accept Invitation” button after doing so.
Lastly, there is a built-in spammer prevention so send out only 10 invitations at one point in time and then wait and manage those before sending out 10 more.
re: author bylines
Not all themes display author bylines.
In reference to those themes that do display author bylines there must be at least two official authors who have both published a post in the blog for the author bylines to display.
In reference to those themes that do NOT display author bylines for a Work-around for single Author bloggers who do wish to have a byline display on their posts see: http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2012/01/03/wordpress-com-changes-bylines-for-authors/
This may also be helpful if you have multiple authors http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2011/03/06/multi-author-wordpress-com-blogs/

conteuseadmin1,
Since you already have several users added to your site, the hard part is done.
From here forward, posts will automatically be assigned to the user that starts the post or page. You can change that from the quick edit page in the WP-admin dashboard.
https://rhverticalindustries.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php
If you hover over the title of the post you want to edit, then click “quick edit”
Then type the name of the author you want to assign the post to. The site will search for a match and let you choose the right person.
If you have any trouble with that, I recommend submitting a ticket through your VIP ticket interface as that will connect you to the VIP team–who have more information on how the special features of your site work.
