Author's bio
-
how do I add the author’s bio to the sidebar?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
-
Theme is “truly minimal”
I have filled out the Author’s Bio but can’t figure out how to get it to display on the page. -

Very few themes have an author profile that displays below every post. The data is derived from here > Dashboard > Users > My profile > About You (section) and anything you add there appears on your Gravatar profile page as well.
The point of displaying an author name is to differentiate the posts on an multi-author site. Regardless of the theme, and provided the theme is designed to display a byline, bylines will only display now if there are at least two authors who both have at least one published post in the blog. There’s a single author workaround here > http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2012/01/03/wordpress-com-changes-bylines-for-authors/
See author byline and author profile displayed or not > http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2009/08/15/author-displayed-or-not/

Thanks for the help and information. I decided to publish on WordPress because it is so highly recommend by a lot of bloggers. Based on publishing my other blog on Blogger first, Blogger is a much easier to use. Simple things like have something (ANYTHING) to identify the author on the front page where a casual reader would expect to find it are obvious requirements. I guess my experiment with WordPress has taught me that it is a poor second choice and I’ll be migrating this to Blogger for the better services it offers.

You wouldn’t get a response that thorough or prompt in the Blogger forums, but have it your way.
