I just tested it, I get the following at the end of the exported html
document:

<div id="postamble" class="status">
<p class="author">Author: Suvayu Ali</p>
<p class="date">Created: 2015-08-07 Fri 16:14</p>
<p class="validation"><a href="http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=referer">Validate</a></p>

I don't know any html, were you expecting something else?  About the
format, take a look at org-time-stamp-custom-formats and
org-time-stamp-formats; eventhough they are for timestamps in the
document, maybe they honour the document creation timestamp.
