Hi

Apologies I am very new to Umbraco and not much of a dev.

I would like to get the 3 most recent UBlogsy posts onto the homepage.

I have managed to display the 3 most recent posts, but having trouble displaying the author and date how I want to.

Here is my code that I have in a Partial View Macro:

@using System.Linq

@using System.Xml.Linq

@using umbraco.MacroEngines

@using uBlogsy.Common.Extensions

@using uBlogsy.Common.Helpers

@using uBlogsy.BusinessLogic

@{

// get all posts IEnumerable

                                .DescendantsOrSelf("uBlogsyPost")
                                .Items
                                .Where(x => x.GetProperty("umbracoNaviHide").Value != "1");


List<DynamicNode> nodes = postList.OrderByDescending(x => x.GetProperty("uBlogsyPostDate").Value)
                .Take(3)

                .ToList();                  
<div class="uBlogsy_posts_container uBlogsy_bottom_border">
    <ul>
        @foreach (DynamicNode n in nodes)
        {
            <li style="list-style: none;">
               <a href="@n.Url">
                    <span>@n.GetProperty("uBlogsyContentTitle").Value</span>
               </a>
                <br>
               <span>@n.GetProperty("uBlogsyPostAuthor").Value</span> - <span>@n.GetProperty("uBlogsyPostDate").Value.FormatDateTimeOrdinal("d.MM.yy")</span>
            </li>
        }
    </ul>
</div>   

}

Now the author displays as the node ID but obviously I would like the actual authors name to appear.

And for the display of the date, it currently shows as 26th.11.2015. I just need to drop the 'th' and just have numbers.

Again aplologies if this is a simple fix, I've been at it for a while and just cant get these two fixes done

Thanks
