  Some themes are deigned to display an author byline and the date and the timestamp and some are not. Look at the live demo site for that theme >

  Thanks, Timethief; I’d realised that. What I was wondering, is whether there is a CSS way (or some other way) of customising the appearence? The dashboard is really poor, and it just seems like there ought to be a box you tick?

  There is no box you can tick. I don’t help with CSS editing but I do know it cannot be used to change the way any theme functions. As that theme is not designed to have those features you have two choices:
  1. typed the missing information into the first line of every post
  2. select another theme that has the features you want > http://theme.wordpress.com/
