Easy steps on how to add author's photo without plugin in WordPress blog can be found in this post. A blog with more than one active author may need to display author's photo and bio to build emotional connection between readers and the author. It is probably even more relevant for a productive author and his or her readers when they engage actively in discussion's thread.
In a certain period of time in the past, thearoengbinangproject.com (may also be accessed by typing domain of aroengbinang.com or aroengbinang.org) also displayed authors' bios and photos in all individual posts. They were then removed to streamline pages as there were no more active authors available.
