How to display author of post?
-
I would like at the top of each post, for it to display the author of the post. We have several new authors, and I did not think of this when writing the theme. Also, it would be nice to have a link to the author’s profile page, but that’s not necessary. Such as on the page http://www.dougstech.com/want-to-write-for-dougstechcom/ , I would like it to show that I wrote the post.
Is there a piece of PHP code or something that I can put in to do this? Thanks!

There are several different themes that display each post’s author. Or you could make it a category, or you could put it in by hand. And you can always use the Author widget, which enables people to find all posts by each author.

I do not need a new theme, heavens no. That would be way more work than I need. I have never used widgets before, but I am willing to give it a try. What is the code for the Author widget? Thanks!

There is no code for author’s widget. It’s one of the widgets already there.

robertsdoug: is your blog hosted here at WordPress.com? Please give us a link to it so we can check that out; it’s quite possible none of these answers will apply to you.

Then you are in the wrong forum and our answers will not apply to you. You need to be over at WordPress.org for answers that work with your software.
