    I want to simply add the post author (and format it to my liking) to the same line where the date/time and # of comments are displayed – at the foot of the post on the main page, and below the post title on the post page itself. I’ve had no luck figuring this out on my own. Any help is greatly appreciated!

  • in the theme, you’ll find a section that says “the_time” or “the_date”

    in there, just add <?=the_author_link();?>

    THANK YOU. I’d been using just <?php the_author(); ?> to no avail. Thank you thank you thank you. Now I just have to figure out how to style the author text…

    view the source and see what class is being used there, then adjust the css properly.

    if you aren’t sure, then you can use like google chrome’s “inspect element” option when you right click, and it will bring up a little console showing you what class is being used for that specific element
