 * How do I get my name (the administrator) and other authors’ names who post on
   my site to be visable. In other words, if I make a post, a “posted by” name is
   not visible. There is simply nothing showing who posted. How can I fix?
 * Thanks

 * In index.php you will find this line:
 * `<small><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> <!-- by <?php the_author() ?> --></small
   >`
 * Change that to:
 * `<small><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> by <?php the_author() ?></small>`
