Adds the name of author at the bottom of the content (post/page), plus optional publishing/editing date, with a per-post hide option for exceptions.

== Description ==

This simple plugin adds publication information at the bottom of the content of a post or a page:

* Name of the author of the post or page
* Date of first publication
* Date of last revision

It is flexible and offers the following options in the admin menu:

* Write your own label before and after the name of the author: e.g. `Contributed by` Author Name `for OurNewsBlog`
* Date of 1st publication is optional, and supports surrounding text like above
* Date of last revision is optional, and only displays if different from the publication date, with surrounding text
* Display the information on post or page or both
* Add an optional link on the name to the author's Wordpress bio/posts page
* Specific per-post/per-page exception: hide the information on any post and page you want!

The plugin is initially intended for very small to much larger multi-author blogs (newspaper, magazine, webzine, collaborative publications, communities...) when an article is supposed to be signed by its author and not remain anonymous, as commonly expected in journalism and publishing.

* Lastly, information is displayed in nested `div` and `span` so it is CSS ready, just up to you to do the styling to your taste. See the screenshots.
* Integrates great with qTranslate for multilingual or international blogs, using [Quicktags](http://www.qianqin.de/qtranslate/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3&p=15#p15)

*Important notice*: I am no developer and this is my first plugin. I hope those of you who will download it will send me some feedback here so as to know what works and what doesn't, **fix bugs**, and help **translate** the plugin as well.
