    Make credit box for each author in a multi-author blog

    You have a blog with many authors who contribute content ,and you want to show their short bio in credit box at the end of each post . This idea was in Wordpress for a long time ,but not in Blogger . I tried several times ,but none of them work . Thanks to comment of ابن الملكـة

    He gave me a code that work in a comment ,and now I want to share this code here .Both of me and ابن الملكـة hope this code helpful to you all ,and make Blogger to be the best of blogging platform .



     Here is what we need to do :

    1,First ,you find this line <data:post.body/>
    and then paste the following code right after the line above.
    <div style='clear:both'/>        
                                        
                                          <div id='creditbox'>
                                              <!-- Author Bio info start-->
                                              <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
                                           
      <!-- First Author Info -->
                                                 <b:if cond='data:post.author == "NAME OF FIRST AUTHOR"'>
                                                     <img class='authoravatar' height='39' src='IMAGE URL FOR FIRST AUTHOR' width='39'/>
                                                     <div class='postauthor'>                                                     
                                                         <h3><a href='FIRST AUTHOR'S URL'>NAME OF FIRST AUTHOR </a></h3>
                                                         <p> NOTES ABOUT FIRST AUTHOR </p>
                                                     </div>
                                                     <div style='clear:both'/>        
                                                 </b:if>

    <!-- Second Author Info -->
                                                 <b:if cond='data:post.author == "NAME OF SECOND AUTHOR"'>
                                                     <img class='authoravatar' height='39' src='IMAGE URL FOR SECOND AUTHOR' width='39'/>
                                                     <div class='postauthor'>                                                     
                                                         <h3><a href='SECOND AUTHOR'S URL'>NAME OF SECOND AUTHOR </a></h3>
                                                         <p> NOTES ABOUT SECOND AUTHOR </p>
                                                     </div>
                                                     <div style='clear:both'/>        
                                                 </b:if>

    .......................
                                             </b:if>
                                             <!-- Author Bio info End-->
                                         </div>
    <div style='clear:both'/>       

    Notes :
    1- NAME OF FIRST AUTHOR : replace this with name of your first author . Name of author must be as exact as name showed in profile .
    2- NAME OF second AUTHOR :replace this with name of your second author
    3- IMAGE URL FOR FIRST AUTHOR :Replace this with the link to your first author avatar or image .
    4- IMAGE URL FOR second AUTHOR :Replace this with the link to your first author avatar or image.
    5- NOTES ABOUT FIRST AUTHOR : Replace this with author short bio ,profile ...
    6- NOTES ABOUT second AUTHOR : Replace this with author short bio ,profile ...
    7- FIRST AUTHOR'S URL :Replace this with link to author profile page or link to a social network account.
    8- SECOND AUTHOR'S URL :Replace this with link to author profile page or link to a social network account.

    In case of there are more than one <data:post.body/> in the search result ,you can paste this code right after all the results  .
    If you have more than two authors ,you can duplicate the code of first author's information or second author's information and then change the name,link,bio...

    2,Add this CSS code before <body> to decorate the credit box :
    <style>
                                         #creditbox {
                                           background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #EDEDED;
                                           padding: 10px;
                                           margin-top:10px;}
                                           .authoravatar {float:left;margin-right:10px;padding:4px;background:#fff;border:1px solid #f0f0f0;}
                                           .postauthor {float:left;}
                                         </style>

    This is an example .You can add more CSS tags to make the credit box display as you want .
