Follow me for WordPress blogs (multi-authors)

If you are using a follow button plugin like the one in my Simple Twitter Connect plugin, then you should be able to specify the user you want the button to be for.

So for example, with STC, I’d activate STC-Login and the STC-Follow Button Widget plugins. Then I’d have my users “connect” their twitter accounts and their WP accounts (STC-Login lets them do this on the Users->Your Profile page). That way it knows what their twitter accounts are.

Then this code in a theme should do the trick:

$twuid = get_the_author_meta('twuid');
if ( !empty($twuid) && function_exists('stc_follow_button') ) {
  stc_follow_button($twuid);
}

You’ll have to put that code into the Loop or somewhere after it, so that the get_the_author_meta() function knows what user to look for.
