How to Add an Author Photo to a WordPress Blog Post
WordPress is a free blogging platform you can use to create your own blog and website. You can install a plugin that allows you to display the author's photo below a blog post on your site. You must have a free globally-recognized Gravatar avatar associated with the email address you use with your WordPress profile. The plugin automatically detects the associated Gravatar avatar and imports it into your WordPress posts, displaying an author photo each time you write a new post.
