I've got a section on a theme were I've called the author's gravatar to show up as a picture that accompanies their post. I want to make to if a visitor clicks on that gravatar it would take them to the author's page with their information and past posts.
So the code that calls the gravatar is:
<?php echo get_avatar( get_the_author_email(), '70' ); ?>
So I tried this just to see if it would work:
a href=" <?php author_post_link();?>" <?php echo get_avatar( get_the_author_email(), '70' ); ?> /a
And that didn't work. So is there a way I can put the author's link to their page and link it back to their gravatar picture?
You have some minor incorrections in the code shown, but I guess they are caused by the copy-paste.
That aught to work, what sort of error do you get?

For whatever reason the code wasn't showing up correctly, so I removed the <> brackets and it seem to show okay, so I know the code syntax is wrong.
The the_author_post_link command creates it own link and anchor tags. So just the anchor tag looks like this: (simplify)
<a href="<a href="/author/user">user</a>"><image></a>
So I just want a way to dynamically creates the link to the author page so I can make the gravatar a clickable link.
