   Can someone point me to the right direction as to how do I go about adding the author name and a link to their profile page when using the default theme in WordPress?

   Thanks, I have another question I would like to display the photo of the user/author along with the author name, I checked the URL Codex author templates, it has no field for author picture, so I checked the source for WP admin screen authors & users screen, to see how that displays the user photo and I eventually landed on wp-admin/includes/user.php which has these fields for WP_User
   $user = new WP_User( $user_id );
   $user->user_login = attribute_escape($user->user_login);
   $user->user_email = attribute_escape($user->user_email);
   $user->user_url = clean_url($user->user_url);
   $user->first_name = attribute_escape($user->first_name);
   $user->last_name = attribute_escape($user->last_name);
   $user->display_name = attribute_escape($user->display_name);
   $user->nickname = attribute_escape($user->nickname);
   $user->aim = isset( $user->aim ) && !empty( $user->aim ) ? attribute_escape($user->aim) : '';
   $user->yim = isset( $user->yim ) && !empty( $user->yim ) ? attribute_escape($user->yim) : '';
   $user->jabber = isset( $user->jabber ) && !empty( $user->jabber ) ? attribute_escape($user->jabber) : '';
   $user->description = isset( $user->description ) && !empty( $user->description ) ? wp_specialchars($user->description) : '';

   return $user;

   But there is no field for picture or photo of the user! From where do I get that?
