If you run a multi-author blog and you want to attract additional authors, one thing you can do is improve how you promote your authors on your website. A lot of WordPress blogs choose to do this by creating an author page for each author or providing a link to the author’s website, but now there is now another option for WordPress blogs.

Color Light Studio recently released a new WordPress plugin called Author Exposed, which will allow readers to view the author’s Gravatar and information from a pop-up box using Javascript.

Here is a sample of how it looks:

Author Exposed

In order to use this plugin, all you need to do is activate it and place a small code snippet in your loop where you want the author’s information to display:

<?php if (function_exists('author_exposed')){author_exposed();} ?>

Once you’ve placed the code into your theme, you should be all set!

    @ Moses – Thanks a lot man! That means a lot coming from you! I think it definitely utilizes space much better and has quite a few more features.

    Nice plugin but doesn’t seem to work on a blog with multiple authors appearing on one page
