A small module that lets you control the format of the "Submitted by" information on your content per content type. It adds a fieldset to your node edit form called Appearance that lets you put in a tokenized pattern for the text you want to display.
Depends on Token module. Note: This module does not create any data; rather it relies on other modules providing that data through Token.
HEAD Status
Unless I screwed up, HEAD is now tracking the Drupal 7.x (and waiting for documentation on "Tokens in Core"). To check out the Drupal 6.x version, you must request the DRUPAL-6--1 branch.
All users of this module need to be watching the status of #364470: Easier theming of "Submitted by author, on date".
How can you get involved?
- Write a review for this module on drupalmodules.com
- Report any bugs, feature requests, etc. in the issue tracker
Translation
Because Submitted by dynamically builds string, the only way we know to translate them is to use the settings.php technique.

The following themes are known to not properly honor theme('node_submitted'):
- Artist C01

Update.php
As with all modules, please make sure you run update.php after updating this module, even if no updates are identified.
Development version status
The development versions (-dev) are where the newest stuff is, including any bug fixes and new features. We try to make sure it is tested before we commit anything, but occasionally a bug will get by us. Your help on testing this code is greatly appreciated. The translation templates may not always be up-to-date in the dev releases.
