Hi, I’m having trouble with a widget – the author grid.

I suppose you can put various images and it shows there, which would be really useful, however, I can’t find anywhere how to do that… where do I do that? what do I need to do? change my gravatar? add images to my profile? (which didn’t work)… what? :s I really need to learn how to use it… please help :3

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

It shows the authors’ gravatars. Do the authors on your site have avatars?

yes but, just one… I was thinking about each author uploading many images and then it’d be shown on the author grid.. however, only one gravatar per author appears… and I’ve already seen a blog (from wordpress.com) that had many images but just one author… so I was thinking about doing that too..

The authors widget is a good way to list the authors of your blog with a link to a page listing all of the their posts.

Authors Widget

It appears you want something different from the authors’ widget. If I understand, you want widgets for each author to display a set of pictures of their choice.

If so, then you (or each author) will have to handcraft one using table coding.
Sidebar for Dusk theme = 170 Use photos 80px wide, aligncenter
table with 2 rows, 2 pictures per row:
```
</table><table style="background-color:#000000;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" width="170" align="center">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td width="85">A_TOP_LEFT</td>
<td width="85">B_TOP_RIGHT</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="85">C_BOTTOM_LEFT</td>
<td width="85">D_BOTTOM_RIGHT</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
```
Or you could use a Flikr widget for each author (of course each author would need a Flikr account)

OH,I forgot to specify, you want to put that table code into a text widget of course.
ditto the flikr codes

happy blogging!
