   On the tags blog, how do work the url of the posts archives for Authors (/author/username) so it redirects to the author's blog instead?

   You'll have to write a plugin for that. See http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-blog-author-link/ for an example of how to filter the author URL.

   Thanks Ron, I think i'm on to something here, http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/14047/how-to-hide-redirect-the-author-page

   Any clues to how to tie the author id to their blog? Any references/links would be just fine. I'm willing to dig around and learn.

   add_action( 'template_redirect', 'authorblog_template_redirect' );
   function authorblog_template_redirect()
   {
     $id = get_query_var( 'author' );
   global $bp;
   
   //two lines from bp_adminbar_blogs_menu() in bp-core-adminbar.php
   	if ( !$blogs = wp_cache_get( 'bp_blogs_of_user_' . $id . '_inc_hidden', 'bp' ) ) {
   		$blogs = bp_blogs_get_blogs_for_user( $id, true );
   		wp_cache_set( 'bp_blogs_of_user_' . $id . '_inc_hidden', $blogs, 'bp' );
   	}
   
   	if ( is_array( $blogs['blogs'] ) && (int)$blogs['count'] ) {
   		$blog=array_pop($blogs['blogs']);//the first blog
   
   		}
   
       if ( is_author() ) {
   
           // get_usernumposts() is deprecated since 3.0
           $post_count = count_user_posts( $id );
           if ( $post_count >= 0 ) {
               //This line could also be wp_redirect
               wp_redirect( $blog->siteurl );
               exit;
           }
    }
   
   }

   This works at about 50%

   For some reason if a user belongs to many other sites in the network as subscriber, this code doesn't find the one that the author is Administrator on.

   Any hints.

   This seems to be working better...

   add_action( 'template_redirect', 'authorblog_template_redirect' );
   function authorblog_template_redirect()
   {
   global $wpdb;
   $id = get_query_var( 'author' );
   
   //two lines from bp_adminbar_blogs_menu() in bp-core-adminbar.php
   
   		$blogs = get_active_blog_for_user(  $id );
   
       if ( is_author() ) {
   
           // get_usernumposts() is deprecated since 3.0
           $post_count = count_user_posts( $id );
           if ( $post_count >= 0 ) {
               //This line could also be wp_redirect
               wp_redirect( $blogs->siteurl );
               exit;
           }
    }
   
   }

   The user's blog must be set as their primary site under My Sites settings on there dashboard.

   Is there anyway to ensure that that their primary blog is always their site?

   If they have more than one site they can change which one is the primary one.
