    I'd like to know if possible (and how) to add author details to the featured image on the posts which show up on the front page. I'd like to be able to add the author of a specific post, or simply just the post meta info.

    Can it be done, would be cool if it could...

    Thanks

    Hi,

    to get that look, you have to edit index.php.
    In there you will find a section that starts with
    //* Customize the entry meta in the entry header

    Replace the whole section with this:

    //* Customize the entry meta in the entry header
    remove_action( 'genesis_entry_header', 'genesis_post_info', 12 );
    add_action( 'genesis_entry_header', 'ambiance_post_info', 12 );
    function ambiance_post_info() {
    
    	echo '<p class="entry-meta">' . do_shortcode( '[post_date]' ) . '<br>'
    	 . do_shortcode( '[post_categories] [post_tags] [post_comments]' ) . '<br/>'
    	 . do_shortcode( '[post_author]' ) . '</p>';
    
    }

    You can remove the short codes you don't want to show.
