This change will need to be made in two files: index.php & single.php.

Immediately below the title tags:

<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title() ?></a></h2>

Add the following:

<p class="articleAuthor">By: <?php the_author(); ?></p>

Tweak the look in the stylesheet using the class .articleAuthor {}. More information concerning the_author() can be found in the WordPress Codex.

Previous themes would use the following within the loop to identify posts:

<div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" class="post">

Adding support for sticky posts requires dynamic classes using this function:

<?php post_class(); ?>

If there is a specific class that you would like the function to include, you can add it as a parameter: post_class(‘customClass’).

Sorry for not including this feature out of the box by default. These releases are meant to be backwards compatible for WP 2.6 users as well.
