Looks like a trend toward customizable themes...

You are right that we are restricted to the themes provided, and that we customization is limited, even with the paid CSS upgrade.

Is this something I could do myself with the the basic (non-hosted) version of WordPress? I thought I was stuck with the provided themes and can't customize them?

- change it at the theme level (which, with no disrespect to Pressrow, is what I'd go for)
- have authors manually put their names in posts

We have multiple authors. Is there a way to customize the CSS so that "By [author name]" appears in each post, below the headline, in normal fashion? Or is this just something that can only be changed at the theme level?

Thanks!
