<?php if (get_post_meta($post->ID, "Author Name") != "") { ?>

I'm trying to display author s name on my wordpress blog !
When meta Author name is not available , i want to display the author who publish it ...

 

<?php echo get_the_author(); ?>

If i remove <?php , ?> the author name is not displaying ... if i insert <?php , ?> , its showing error....

 

<?php 
if (get_post_meta($post->ID, "Author Name") != "") {
?>

<font style="text-transform: uppercase;font-size:10px;">	<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, "Author Name", true); ?></font>
<?php 
} 
else 
{
