title: Wordpress Blog/Author name not showing up
body: <p>I am using a customized theme and there is a line of code like this in for example single.php.</p>
  
  <pre><code>     &lt;p class="postmetadata"&gt;&lt;?php _e('Posted by','Mimbo'); ?&gt; &lt;?php the_author_meta('namefl'); ?&gt; &lt;?php _e('on','Mimbo'); ?&gt; &lt;?php the_time('n/d/y'); ?&gt; &amp;bull; &lt;?php _e('Categorized as','Mimbo'); ?&gt; &lt;?php the_category(',') ?&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The call to wordpress function the_author_meta('namefl') doesn't return anything, thus the author name is blank;; display something like was posted by on 11/12/11 for example.</p>
  
  <p>All I would like to do is to display the author name in there.  I am using WP 3.2.1.  What is the best way to fix this?</p>
