  I’m planning a wordpress.com blog with about 10 contributors. For each contributor, I would like to include a post/page that includes a couple paragraphs about him/her + his/her posts on the blog.

  Is this possible?

  If you use the Author’s Widget, it’s inevitable. When people click on an author’s name in the widget, they go to a dynamically generated page with the author’s mini-bio at the top. You can even get the URLs of each of those pages and put them in a Custom Menu for page tabs.

  You’re welcome! Just remember that all posts will still automatically appear on the main blog page, in reverse chronological order. That’s just the way blogs work.

  The Elegant Grunge and Twenty Ten themes both show the individual author profile when viewing permalink (single post) pages. I know this isn’t really what you want but it might be useful for you to know.
