  I’m a new WordPress user, and I can’t figure out how to get the username to display with published posts. (In other words, I’d like to include the name of the author, along with the date, time, and title of the post.)

  I thought I could control this in the settings section of the blog, but I haven’t been able to find this anywhere. I’m wondering if the theme I picked doesn’t support this option?

  Does anyone have any words of wisdom? Thanks so much!

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

  All themes here are unique. there are no cookie cutter themes and there is no settings for what you want. Whether or not author bylines, author profile, date stamps and/or timestamps are displayed is theme dependent.

  Some themes display author bylines and some do not. You can switch to a theme that does display a byline. http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2009/08/15/author-displayed-or-not/

  Some themes show the timestamps on posts and some don’t. Apparently you chose one that doesn’t. You have two options.
  (1) Type in the time on each post.
  (2) Switch to a theme that has this feature.
