The Submitted_by module is a simple little bit of code that allows the admin to change the "Submitted by..." line for nodes and comments by content type. Each content type gets its own pattern for this line. Using the Token module, there is a wide variety of data available to fill in the pattern. The Real Name module places nicely with this one and even provides more tokens.
Installation
Normal module installation applies to this module.
Settings
The settings are found on the content type administration form, in a fieldset titled "Appearance." There is a similar fieldset inside the Comment settings for changing the "Submitted by..." line in the comments. Within each of those fieldsets is another fieldset that, when expanded, shows all the available tokens that you may use.
For example, on one content type that is often user-submitted, we use: Contributed on [month] [d], [yyyy] by [realname-link].

Submitted by - another example
In case you want to format Submitted by as something like:
Nov 1, 2009 by AuthorName in ArticleCategory (Last updated: Nov 7, 2009)where AuthorName and ArticleCategory are links, you can try the following 'Submitted by...' text:
[mon] [d], [yyyy] by [author-link] in <a href="/drupal/[termalias]">[term]</a> (Last updated: [last-edit-mon] [last-edit-d], [last-edit-yyyy])Submitted by info not visible on pages?
If Submitted by info is not visible to users, be sure to check that you've enabled Display post information on:

NancyDru
set it for all node types...
If you go to admin->content mgmt->post settings, you can set the "submitted by" text for all nodes (only applies to new nodes).
