Trouble Understanding How to Add Authors and Author Pages

    I need help understanding how to add authors to my company’s blog posts. I manage our blog and post everything, but I want to add more segmentation and attach authors to each post, without having them actually make the post. I then need the author name to function as a link that would feed back to the authors page or all previous posts from that author. I have read a number of articles, but the entire process is still confusing to me. Looking for some assistance if possible. Thank you

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

    For information on how to add users (authors and contributors) to your site and set their user permissions, see User Roles — Support — WordPress.com.

    Contributor allows access and the ability to add content but not publish it. It must be published by the Editor or Administrator.

    WordPress.com offers a free feature to request “feedback” on a post before publishing it, giving the invited guest a link to see the draft of the post. See Request Feedback — Support — WordPress.com.

    Also check out the extensive series on managing multiple authors in WordPress if you need more information and details. For example, some WordPress Themes will feature the author bio at the bottom of their posts and on the author pageview (the web page showing the author posts from the link around their byline). There are also author Widgets to feature the authors in the sidebar available.

    Thanks and good luck with your project.
