  Hey everyone,

  The blog that we’ve created is for a school project among 4 different students, and our professor wants us to have our blog posts explicitly show the author on the blog post page without clicking on the post itself.

  How can I go about customizing the page to make that happen?

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

  Looks like you have separate user accounts for each author, and they’ve each written a post. I do see their names here on the blog page:

  Are you all set with that?

  I noticed you’re using a category widget to display posts by different authors. Just a heads-up that you don’t actually need to categorize each author’s post – author archive pages are automatically created. You can see them by clicking on an author’s name – for example:

  https://co300isacollegedegreeworththecost.wordpress.com/category/ricky-s/

  You could link to these archives either manually with an HTML widget, or you could use an Authors widget:
