OK, never mind that edit, I think I was just sitting up working too late, not realizing my head went to bed hours earlier…
But in addition to including Subscribers to these author pages, I would like to see this author thing move up a level, to the main “Root Blog” if you will.
Right now, I have installed my blog under /wpmu. I have one blog as /wpmu/blog1 and another as /wpmu/blog2. So, if admin1 posts an entry under say blog1, you can only access his profile page under /wpmu/blog1 at URL /wpmu/blog1/author/admin1.
I would love to get his profile page accessible under /wpmu/author/admin1, meaning at “root level”. I don’t know if this could be achieved by mod_rewrite or something, but I have no idea how.
Further more, since these author pages are blog dependent as far as posts go, if you visit /wpmu/blog2/author/admin1 there will be no content, since he never posted on blog2. But he, and any subscribers I tested with, have access to post comments on both (I guess ALL) blogs, by signing up.
