# author image with each post

 * Hello,
 * Instead of a “posted by ____” text thing, I would like to include an image associated
   with author at the bottom of his/her post. For instance, at the bottom of a post
   it would have an image of the author’s signature. I have searched the forums (
   author + image) and documentation (author templates) but haven’t been able to
   find anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
 * Thanks!
    Jackie

 * I haven’t seen that exact thing done as you describe, but I have seen an author“
   block” or “blurb” at the bottom of a post on individual entry pages in a theme
   called Mimbo. Is that what you want? You would add this code beneath the post
   code in your `single.php` file:
 *     ```
       <div id="writer">
       <img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/<?php the_author_login(); ?>.jpg" alt="" />
       <?php the_author_posts_link('namefl'); ?> is <?php the_author_description(); ?>
       <a href="mailto:<?php the_author_email(); ?>" title="Email this author">Email this author</a> | All posts by <?php the_author_posts_link('namefl'); ?>
   
       </div>
       ```
   
 * And you’d need to create the images for each author (headshot or avatar) and 
   save it in your theme’s /images folder. And name it whatever the author’s name
   is, exactly as written. For example, for your own, you’d create an image called
   Jackie.jpg and upload it to the /images folder.
 * And you can style that division #writer however you want in your stylesheet. 
   Put a border around it, make it a different color, etc.
 * HTH.

 * Perfect!! Thank you. I basically left it to just this part of the code you provided:
 * `<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/<?php the_author_login();?
   >.jpg" alt="" />`
 * Which did exactly what I was hoping. Thanks so much!
