How to post author link and entry header info outside of loop

[lsilver]

I'm trying to place a post's title, author link (preceded by the word 'By'), post date, and number of comments outside of loop in the Before Content area. This is to accommodate a full width image to display below all of this. So the final layout looks like:

{Post Title}
By {Author Link}
{Date} {X Comments - Linked to comment area}
Featured Image

I'm able to get the post title and featured image to work just fine. But I'm having a hard time getting the author link, date, and comments to display in the Before Content area, likely because out of the box they need to be in the loop. Below is the code I'm using for the title and featured image.

Thanks

`<?php
//* Remove the entry header markup (requires HTML5 theme support)
remove_action( 'genesis_entry_header', 'genesis_entry_header_markup_open', 5 );
remove_action( 'genesis_entry_header', 'genesis_entry_header_markup_close', 15 );

//* Remove the entry title (requires HTML5 theme support)
remove_action( 'genesis_entry_header', 'genesis_do_post_title' );

//* Add the entry header markup and entry title before the content on all pages except the front page
add_action( 'genesis_before_content', 'jw_add_entry_header', 50 );
function jw_add_entry_header()
{
genesis_entry_header_markup_open();
genesis_do_post_title();
genesis_entry_header_markup_close();
}
add_action( 'genesis_before_content', 'genesis_post_info', 12 );
add_action('genesis_before_content', 'featured_post_image',8);
function featured_post_image () {
the_post_thumbnail('custom-thumb-5');
}
?>

You don't need to reposition the entry header to add a full width featured image below the title.

Care to elaborate?

If I'm using a template with a content area and sidebar, the title, author link, date, etc. is in the content portion. As far as I can figure out, the only way to even display the title so that it is centered above both the content area and the sidebar (and not just hte content area) is to move it to genesis_before_content.

Like this http://wpsites.net/web-design/reposition-title-before-content-sidebar-wrap-like-the-nytimes-post-layout/

Then hook in the featured image. You can use the code from the Workstation Pro child themes functions file and change the hook.
