Post Author Info Guide :Tutorials & inspirations

Author bio under or above each post is a very common practice in blog design lately . This especially useful with muli-author blogs. Personally I like knowing a little bit more about the author so I always appreciate reading more about the author and his background . What I appreciate more is a pic or avatar near the author’s name .People will remember those icons more than they can remember names especially if you are a visual person like me .
