I had to do a little digging around at the WordPress website to find out the answer, but a post in their support forum clued me in on how to edit one of the subsidiary files to display the author name for each blog entry.
Most of the time, I’ll respond to comments within them, using italics. So if you want to read a discussion of a particular post, follow the comments trail, even if it looks like there’s only one comment!
If people think it would work better for us post authors to respond with additional comments, as is done in other blogs, let us know — ”we’re easy! 🙂
Word Press doesn’t like it when we put curly quotes or em-dashes into our text, as it confuses its own translation software that takes straight quotes and double dashes and converts them to look proper.
This was just one of a number of blog entries that got messed up and I just hadn’t gotten around to fixing yet.
