I decided to publish on WordPress because it is so highly recommend by a lot of bloggers. Based on publishing my other blog on Blogger first, Blogger is a much easier to use. Simple things like have something (ANYTHING) to identify the author on the front page where a casual reader would expect to find it are obvious requirements. I guess my experiment with WordPress has taught me that it is a poor second choice and I'll be migrating this to Blogger for the better services it offers.

The point of displaying an author name is to differentiate the posts on an multi-author site. Regardless of the theme, and provided the theme is designed to display a byline, bylines will only display now if there are at least two authors who both have at least one published post in the blog.

As it seems to be your Gravatar "About me" section which is displayed. If you delete all the text in there, the whole thing should go away.

All of that fa la la la la belongs on your About page, not below each and every post on the blog.

In your About me section I suggest you create a brief bio and limit the number of characters to 140 including spaces.

Go to to the entry here > Dashboard > Users > My Profile
section "About You" and then note that the data we enter there displays on your Gravatar profile page. http://en.gravatar.com/amysecrist

Very few themes have an author profile drawn from the same data, which is designed into the theme to automatically display below all posts as an "author profile".

Author profiles are meant to be brief.
Expanded bios belong on an About page. http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/

See here for selection of themes that do or do not have this author profile feature http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2009/08/15/author-displayed-or-not/

For themes that do not have an author profile, you can create a draft post and create an author profile in it and then copy and paste it on the bottom of each post.

Also note you can copy and paste the Users > My Profile > About me data onto a static About page. http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/
