  I am allowing other safety professionals to become contributors to the SafetyAtWorkBlog however, it seems that contributors are not able to have profiles of their own. Is this because the contributors are not WordPress members? Is there someway of allowing them a (sub)profile until they see how useful WordPress is?

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

  The site linked to your name is not a wordpress.com blog. If you have one, please link it to your name instead. We nearly always need to see a blog to give an appropriate, timely reply.

  Have you read this?

  User Roles

  My suggestion would be to add a page to your site detailing profiles of your contributors.
  All but one of the articles on your current home page appear have been written by “Kevin Jones,” who also has no visible profile.

  Or you could use a text widget in your sidebar to provide details about the contributors to your blog.

  There is also an “authors widget” though I don’t know if that applies to “contributors” as well as authors.

  (I don’t think that widget provides details (profile), though it will link to articles/posts written by those folks.)
