Do you run a multi-author blog? Do you want to give the proper exposure to each of your contributors? While it is certainly important to include this information in an “About” page on your site, there are additional ways you can do this too.

One way is to install the free Authors Widget WordPress plug-in. Just as you can have lists of tags and categories in your blog’s sidebar (or footer), you can use this plug-in to create a list of the authors who contribute to your blog. The information can be displayed in the form of a standard list or in a format similar to a tag cloud.

For each author, you can show the number of articles written and published to date. There is also a link to each author’s RSS feed, as well as the ability to include the author’s avatar next to his or her name. In order to use the “cloud” display style, you will need to also install the SEO Tag Cloud plugin.
