    2626 * 
     27 * The behavior of this function is based off of old functionality predating get_the_author(). 
     28 * This function is not deprecated, but is designed to echo the value from get_the_author() 
     29 * and as an result of any old theme that might still use the old behavior will also 
     30 * pass the value from get_the_author(). 
     31 * 
     32 * The normal, expected behavior of this function is to echo the author and not return it. 
     33 * However, backwards compatiability has to be maintained. 
     34 *
