 * Is there a way for the person who is logged in to be listed as the default author
   of a post? As it is now, when I log in as admin, the first person the alphabetical
   list of authors is the default. I often forget to change it to my name (even 
   though I’m the one logged in, not him). It seems like that should default to 
   the person logged in.
