Hello - I'd like to add "by <author" piece of text to each post's entry head right next to the comment count and category.

Screenshot of a photoshoop that explains what I'm trying to do:

I know the fix would involve adding another entry to this piece of code on basically every page that displays posts:

<div class="entry-head">
<span class="comments"><?php comments_popup_link(__('No Comments','habitat'), __('1 Comment','habitat'), __('% Comments','habitat')); ?></span>
<span class="categories"><?php the_category(', '); echo $terms; ?></span>
</div>

I think a new CSS rule would need to be created. Can anyone help me out with how to do this?

Hey,
you can use this function: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_author to display the author.

Use it like:
```
<span class="author"><?php the_author(); ?></span>
```

Thanks! One other question - how do I get a little icon next to that line, like the category and comment count have?

1) You need to add your new element to following code in style.css:

.entry-head .comments, .entry-head .categories, .tag_list .the_tags{
display:block;
float:left;
padding-left:20px;
}

2) You need to add an icon - you can use the comments code with a different image - the code can be found in style1.css:

.entry-head .comments{
background:url("../images/shared/icon_comment.png") no-repeat scroll left center transparent;
}
