  I am new to using CSS (I’ve modified blog templates before using html), and I’m trying to figure out how to display authors on posts for my multi-author blog. Can someone help me out?

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

  And actually, I’m using the Twenty Ten template which shows the author name under the post title on the sample screen shot, but it’s not happening when I post. Am I missing something really stupid? I’ve been through all of the settings and can’t figure out how to get the author name to display.

  Regardless of the theme, bylines will only display now if there are at least two authors who both have at least one published post in the blog.

  I checked out http://pecomethnotes.org/ and if you look at the Users page in your blog dashboard, you’ll see that there is currently only one author with one published post. The other authors need to publish something before the byline will appear.
