Move “Submitted By” from node.tpl to page.tpl
you can construct your own with something like this, adjust as desired:

if(isset($node))
{
    $nodeUser = user_load($node-&gt;uid);
    print 'Submitted By ' . l(t($nodeUser-&gt;name), 'user/' . $node-&gt;uid) . ' on ' . format_date($node-&gt;created);
}
