You'll be working hard to get people to contribute articles or posts to your community blog site. Some may be familiar with WordPress and able to post on their own. However, most will just be willing to email you their text. That's OK, as I'll show you how to make the copying and pasting a fast process. It's worth it for the content.
What we want to do here is learn how to enter a new user author. I'll also show you the first example of actually modifying the template's code to place a link to the author's site. It's not a task for the nervous person, and you may select a theme that will do this for you anyway. But, I'll show you how I did a small code entry to make it happen.
