  I would like my name and a small text about me to appear with every post I post. I also have different bloggers on my blog. I’m trying to figure out how their picture and a small text about them appears with every post they post as well, in order to make my blog more personal.

  Thanks a lot for helping!

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

  Hi Kim,

  The information that appears with your name on the site will depend on how that theme is set up. Some themes show more or less information, depending on the intent of the theme. Here is an example of a premium theme that puts some emphasis on the author:

  http://thewriterdemo.wordpress.com/author/marcperel/

  It lists a byline on posts, with the author information at the bottom. Here are a few others to check out:

  http://zorendemo.wordpress.com/
  http://syntaxdemo.wordpress.com/
  http://boscodemo.wordpress.com/
  http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/search/author/

  These themes also show some author information, however I don’t believe any of them show a bio or avatar on every post, just the name. What you could do is create an author page with all of the relevant information, and put that in a sidebar widget so it’s prominent.

  Adding that information into an existing theme so that it shows automatically isn’t possible, it would require modifying the template files for the theme.

  Hi,

  Thank you for your reply. The theme I’m using is Bloggy. The thing is: you can see a drawn picture with ‘Kim’ (my name) next to it, but not my picture or a small description.

  Hi Kim,

  I see the little icon you’re referring to: https://cloudup.com/cqNoBAj4dic

  It might be possible for someone with experience using CSS to replace that icon with a different image, for example your avatar, however that’s not an option the theme author built into the theme.

  If you’re interested in looking into a CSS solution, we have some great resources for learning css:
