  I am trying to construct an academic blog. I would like my “contributors” to be linked to their respective academic webpages. How can I do this for them, or how can each do it for him- or herself?

  My blog: http://honorethics.org/

  What I’m trying to emulate: http://peasoup.typepad.com/

  Thanks!

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

  This is the support documentation entry for creating links in pages and posts.
  This is the relevant entry for assigning user roles, and this is the link for adding users to your blog.

  I should have been more specific–

  I want turn my contributors’ names into links that will take people to their academic webpages.

  You could use a simple Links widget:

  You could also use an Authors widget (hovering with the mouse pointer over an author’s Avatar would display their Gravatar profile – it would be up to each author to edit that profile):
