I'm going to have to give that a try when I get back from vacation. I'm a big fan of minimizing the total amount of code no matter how small the savings. Thanks for the tip and the comment.

I lets readers know who's who and ultimately feel more attached to the authors and the blogs. One quick observation. You can stack classes in your code. So you could actually keep the .entry {} code as is simply deleting the background declaration. Then create the new .Aquanetta {} and .Zemora {} classes with just the single declaration for their backgrounds. Then in the template you would simply call both classes like this: <div class="entry &lt? php the_author(); ?>"> Now the div will have two classes assigned to it; The entry class and the author class, and you'll have used six fewer lines in your css code. While 6 lines isn't a lot, it adds up after a while when modifying a theme's css extensively. six line here and six lines there, and pretty soon we're talking a lot of bytes. Hi Bret,
