  I read somewhere to include my url in tags. Does that make sense? What about my name when I author a piece.

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

  You don’t have to put your URL in tags, it probably won’t make a difference. As for your name when you author a pirce, it’ll automatically show up in posts, whether it’s just your name of “Posted by ‘your name'” depends on your blog’s theme.

  I’ll add that not all themes show the author’s name in the post metadata.

  If you do not see your username/nickname at the top or bottom of each post then your theme does not show the author’s name. The author’s name, tags, categories, and date are the post metadata.

  Ok, I don’t see my name in either place (except where I’ve added it in the text and tag) so then does it make sense to tag my name– and what about url? I thought I read in the Huffington Post blogger book to put your url in the tag line. Maybe that’s for when you’re posted somewhere other than your own blog?
