This is definitely the solution that came to mind when I read the
problem. It relies on the fact that contrary to common understanding,
position: absolute does not position relative to a window but instead
relatve to the containing block. So if your header is already
absolutely positioned and your byline is a child of it then all you
need to do is:

#blogByLine { position: absolute; bottom:0; right: 0}
