  Hi there, I have a new poetry blog (using Manifest) where I would like to post poems by other people, not just myself. At the moment ‘by Josephine Corcoran’ appears automatically after the title of the post but I would like to change that to “posted by Josephine Corcoran” so that the authorship of the poem is clear.

  I’d be really grateful for some help! Thanks in advance.

  – Josephine

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

  Thanks timethief. So, to be clear, it has to stay as ‘by’?

  Thanks again timethief. It’s a real shame that Manifest doesn’t offer “posted by” as well as “by” . I see now that other themes offer “posted by” or “posted on (date)” as defaults. This allows for more flexibility. But Manifest is such a suitable theme for poetry and writing. I might now try Twenty Ten or Eleven with the Header Image removed to try to achieve a simple, uncluttered poetry blog.
