Step 1 : Get the profile addresses for each person who will be posting to the blog. Make sure that each one looks something like this: http://www.blogger.com/profile/XXXXXXX where “XXXXXXX” is a particular ID number. Make a note of that number for each person.
Step 2 : Add the following code to your template, between the HTML <head> tags:
<script type=”text/javascript”>
var team = new Array();
team["First Member"]=”XXXXXXX”;
team["Second Member"]=”YYYYYYY”;
team["Third Member"]=”ZZZZZZZ”;
function makeprofilelink (authorname) {
var pid = team[authorname];
document.write(“<a href=\”http://www.blogger.com/profile/”
+ pid + “\”>” + authorname + “</a>”);
}
</script>
Step 3 : Replace “First Member” with the name that appears on the first member’s posts, and replace “XXXXXXX” with the ID number corresponding to that person’s profile. Do the same for the second member and so on, adding as many more members as you need for your blog. But you will need to update the list of members and their ID numbers whenever you add new people, or any time they change their display names.Also make sure that each member will need to have a unique display name, so they will be linked to the correct profile.
Step 4 : Search for <$BlogItemAuthorNickname$> or <data:post.author/> tag, depending on what kind of template you have (Classic or Blogger Beta Layouts). This prints out each persons display name. Replace that tag with the following:
(for classic templates)
<script type=”text/javascript”> makeprofilelink(“<$BlogItemAuthorNickname$>”); </script>
(for layouts)
<script type=”text/javascript”> makeprofilelink(“<data:post.author/>”); </script>
Now you’re almost done, you need to preview it to make sure it works, then save the changes and republish. The result will be something like this at the end of each post, with the appropriate profile link for the name:
… the end of my post.
