Adding post date and author below post title

[lorena]

Hi. I'd like to add the post date and title to my posts. I like the way it shows up on LiveYourLegend.net. I've got the Add to Post plugin but I need help with the coding. Thanks.

Thanks! I think this will work great- but the changes haven't taken effect yet. About 20 minutes later. Any ideas?

[AnitaC]

I see changes. I see you added your Twitter ID on there. Your site looks really nice. Great job.

I need some more help here. I still can't see my post date, comments or the twitter ID. I can sort of see it in my Triberr feed but not actually displaying on my site. I can tell that anitac can see it but why can't I? Could there be a conflict? Would there be another way to do this?

 

Thanks,

Lorena

I think I erred. I went to http://liveyourlegend.net/ which is not your site. Post the link to your site so I can take a look.

Did you modify your functions.php, home.php, or your style.css files?

I have made a few modifications- the only manual one was to my style.css. I've included them all. Thanks for the help.

Here is my style.css:

I think it has to do with your "Customize the Post Meta Function." I don't code, so I cannot tell you what - but that's probably where the problem is.
