With the intent to grow this blog into a valuable online resource for designers and web professionals, I’m working towards developing a network of guest bloggers. I already have some great people lined up to blog, but before I set this up I’ve been wanting to tweak the blog theme to include custom author information after each post, so that of course the bloggers get proper credit and backlinks.

After doing some research on the most extensible way to do this I’ve come across Justin Tadlock’s excellent little tutorial “Adding and using custom user profile fields“.

Justin provides a very quick, clear and concise method for achieving this and I’ll be testing it out myself over the next few weeks, time permitting.

“Adding and using custom user profile fields“ is a very useful read for anyone managing a WordPress blog – how do you implement this on your site? I’d be keen to know if you add this information in any other way.
