Author info in sidebar, ASAP

This is one thing I am planning to do, I haven’t started looking at solutions yet, but there does seem to be a fair amount of info out there for this.

I’ll see if I can figure it out, post response back here, but it’ll take me a few days.

This is how I do it:

<?php /* If this is a single post page */ if (is_single()) { ?>

<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<div id="authordesc">
<h2>About the Author</h2>
<?php c2c_the_author_image(); ?>
<?php echo apply_filters('the_content', get_the_author_description()); ?>

Contact <?php the_author_firstname(); ?> via email <a>">here</a> or visit <?php the_author_firstname(); ?> online <a>">here</a>.
</div>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>

Result is here.

Here’s an even shorter version. Notice I also have the author image in there. That’s done with the author image plugin here.

<?php /* If this is a single post page */ if (is_single()) { ?>
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<h2>By <?php the_author_firstname(); ?> <?php the_author_lastname(); ?></h2>
<p><?php c2c_the_author_image(); ?></p>
<div class="authordesc">
<?php echo apply_filters('the_content', get_the_author_description()); ?>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
</div>
