Thanks. I figured it would be something simply like that. But now I've got a new
problem. Upon changing the code, I now get a blank name returned from the author
object:

"Posted on Thu Jun 25 23:36:15 2009 by "

I thought maybe getting the name was not necessary so I left it at just echoing
the author but that gave me what looked like a hash. Clearly that's not what I
wanted.

I assume that, as before, I am over looking something.
