About author at the end of the post

Giving information about yourself on blog you write is very good. It is better for gaining trust from your visitors, always give your true name and give some information about your self, introduce your self to the audience.

At these days it’s a little trend to put short information about yourself on the bottom of every post. That is very easy thing to do even for blogs with multiply authors. Login to your administration panel of your blog find Your Profile.

Profile in Administration area

At the end of the page there is a text box near Biographical Info enter some short information about yourself and click Update profile.

Biography info

That probably will not be visible now on your site because very low number of themes is using these informations somewhere. But that is not the problem it can be easily attached anywhere. Go to your current theme folder, find single.php and open it for editing. After category of a post is printed add this:

<div class="about-author">
<h3>About author</h3>
<?php the_author_description(); ?>
</div>

And that’s it now you will have your information show on every post, but not on pages if you have about me page or contact me it will not be show on those only on posts.

If you want to style it a little bit for example add these css code:

.about-author{
border:1px solid #C5DBFF;
background:#f3fffF;
height:110px;
padding:5px;
}

Later when you need to change the text in your bio just go Your Profile again and change it no need for changing theme files.
