How to make post show author?
-
My boyfriend and I are doing a blog about our road trip. Is there some way we can get the blog to show which of us wrote the post? We are both writing in first person so I think it might confuse some people.
Our blog is http://steprobin.wordpress.com

One of you would need to add the other as a user and make an administrator. Then when a post is made, you can designate which author is writing the post. Most themes show the author and it will display who wrote what. The theme you’ve chosen does not show who wrote what. You’d need to choose another theme so that the author would be displayed.
To add a user so that authors can be recognized:
ON Your Dashboard in far right corner, click on Users
Scroll down to add users.
Enter email (and designate them as an administrator) and wait for that person to accept the invitation -
One more thing. Once you’ve got the user on board as an administrator. Whenever you type a new entry. If you scroll down to the bottom of the page where you’re editing the entry; you’ll see ‘Post Author.’ It is here where you can select whether you or the boyfriend is typing the post.

You can also just choose a theme that automatically displays the author; if not, you can add the author widget, which will enable people to search for authors, or use the author name as a category or tag.
