that admin guy - an update

When I posted my entry about that admin guy the other day, my sister left a comment and pointed out that her blog entries say admin. Uhh…that would be the blog that I set up. Where did I go wrong?

I logged in and verified that her display name was set up correctly. It was. I poked around in the code, and found out that instead of using CODE to call the author name, it was hard coded in the theme to put “Posted by Admin” on each entry. Duh! It really threw me for a loop, considering that admin was the user name as well.

The moral of this story is that if changing your display name doesn’t work, check your code!
