 * Hi !
    I believe i’m in the good section for my query. We are two authors on my
   blog and I’d like to add a specific Icon on the right side of the post in order
   to visually identify faster yhe author. I’ve been looking around support and 
   haven’t found anything on this. Any clue ? Thanks.

 * Googling “site:wordpress.org image for author” gave [these results](http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q=site%3Awordpress.org+image+for+author&btnG=Google+Search&meta=).

 * I set something like this up once: [http://www.trashfolder.org/ffxi/](http://www.trashfolder.org/ffxi/).
   
   I’d give you code, but the template for the index.php seems to be giving me the
   default code…

 * Alright, here we go:
    `<img class="autimg" src="authors/<?php the_author() ?>.
   gif">` Just set up a folder called authors (or change it how you like) and put
   gif files there (or images of another format, just don’t forget to change the
   img tag) with the names of the author(s). Of course, you need to set up your 
   stylesheets and such to your preference, but that should be no problem.
