Hi,

I'd like to format the posts to my blog differently depending on who posted. For example, in front of the title to a post I'd like to put a portrait of the post's author.

I can't use the tags for author names, because you can have spaces in them. So I'm wondering if there's an "Author_ID" or something similar that I could use to identify either CSS or image filenames (as in "author_id.jpg").

Thanks,

John

CODE

<$MTEntryAuthor dirify="1"$>

will turn:

Author Name

into:

author_name
