If you've ever read a post and wondered where the author was coming from, you'll love the latest Blogcritics feature. If you've ever read a post and thought, "Wow, this is good. I wonder what else this person has written," you'll have your answer now.

Beginning now, at the bottom of each post where the author's name is listed, you will find a link to that author's other Blogcritics posts. Current it looks something like this: (See all posts by Frank Giovinazzi) Sorry, Frank, I picked your name at random.

I've been testing the same feature with comments, but since those are easier to spoof and harder to track if someone mistypes their name or uses an alternate email address, I'm hold off for now. Any suggestion for how to resolve either of those problems are welcome, of course, as well as any comments on the "see all post by" feature.

I just realized that this should be very useful to Blogcritics who are collecting posts for the top-secret project Eric mentioned!

It seems making this work for comments wasn't as difficult as I had feared. I was sick the last couple of days, so I wasn't thinking clearly. Now that I can hold more than one thought in my head at a time, I'm making progress.
