   Hello,

   I have come very close to getting this solved but I must be missing something. I am trying to make it so if an author has their AIM name in their profile, that a clickable image will be displayed in the sidebar. Everything in this code seems to work except that it is not hyperlinking the AIM name - only the php code is being hyperlinked.

   Here is the code:
   

   '<?php
   if(the_author_aim == ""){
   	echo "";
   } else {
   	echo"<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"aim:Goim?screenname=<?php echo antispambot(get_the_author_aim()); ?>\" title=\"Message Me on AIM Here\"><img src=\"/images/tkk_msg_aim.gif\" width=\"170\" height=\"38\" border=\"0\"></a>
   ";
   }
   ?>'

   It is supposed to create the hyperlink as: aim:Goim?screename=AuthorsScreenNameHereFromWordPressUserProfile but it is actually creating the hyperlink as:
   aim:Goim?screename=<?php echo antispambot(get_the_author_aim()); ?>

   I know there must be something I am overlooking. Please advise if you can find the mistake in my code.

   If I use the same code (to geth the author's aim name from their profile) without the if / else statements, the code works fine... I am thinking it's a problem somwhere in the echo statement but I am not sure...

   '<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"aim:Goim?screenname=<?php echo antispambot(get_the_author_aim()); ?>\" title=\"Message Me on AIM Here\"><img src=\"/images/tkk_msg_aim.gif\" width=\"170\" height=\"38\" border=\"0\"></a>'

   Thanks!
