moving "posted on (date) by (Author)

In my childtheme i want to separate the line “This entry was posted” and move that to the top, right under the title. But here’s the snag, i still want the author_meta to be after the entry when viewing the post in single.

I’ve managed to move the <footer class=”entry-meta”> so that it’s above the post itself, looks awful tho the white space between the title and entry_meta is to big (the height) i even managed to still have the <div class=”comments-link”> the comments_popup_link placed at the bottom of a post (like i want), but the author_meta is now placed above the post (grmbl) instead. My php savviness ain’t good enough to separate those three alien entities so it’s manageable in a easy way.

How do i get the entry_meta to the top of a post, right under the post title, without the white space and still have the author_meta under the post?

have a looksee at https://www.dravel.se landing page and you’ll see the white space issue, an just click on the post to see where the author_meta is now.
