  I cannot figure out how to set it so that the name of the author shows up on the post. Myself and a friend are blogging together and I cannot find an option for this anywhere. My current theme is “Grid Focus.” Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

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

  Some themes are coded to provide an Author’s name and some do not. Grid Focus does not provide this. Please see this list if you want to locate themes that do display author’s names > http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2009/08/15/author-displayed-or-not/

  The alternative to changing themes is for each author to provide a byline at the top of the posts they create and publisg.

  BTW you can also create Categories in the name of each author and when they assign them to their posts readers will be able to click their name in the categories widget and find all posts they authored.
