I wrote a blog as the author but also collaborated with a contributor; how do i make sure the contributor also shows up in the blog as a co-author?

Some themes show multiple authors and others don’t. If you can edit the theme, you can adjust the behavior. 🙂

Good point!  
Do you know if any of these allow that?

Hey @Tony_Kipkemboi, we’ve just added multi-author support to all our themes including Journal. Feel free to re-install the theme, or play around with the other official themes. Some themes don’t show the authors by design though.
