Hi.
I'm looking for a way to include a small graphic with each post. My blog has several authors and I want to have their photo display alongside their posts. I'm not sure how to do this if it's even possible.
Thanks for your help.

Thanks. I appreciate the tip however, I can't spend any money. If there isn't a way to do this for free then I'm not interested.

do you have PHP installed? something like this is trivially done with PHP.
a line resembling
CODE
<?php
echo "<img src='<$MTEntryAuthor$>.gif'>
?>
wherever you want to display the image. I'm not positive it will work unmodified, since I haven't tried it. But something close to it ought to work.

you don't really need php for this. you should use the dirified form in case you have author names with a space in it.
CODE
<img src="<$MTEntryAuthor dirify="1"$>.gif">
so if you have an author called "Arthur Author" mt will output the following:
CODE
<img src="arthur_author.gif">
make sure you use the dirified form of the author name when naming your images.

Thanks so much. This works super. Alas, we don't have PHP so the regular img tag works splendidly. I don't know why I didn't think of it.
Thanks charle97 and imabug.
