[wp-hackers] post format types

[Philip M. Hofer (Frumph)]

Sorry charlie, you're writing CSS based changes, not HTML based changes with 
different post format look of the post.

What you already wrote is already written 100x over.

You already had that. The get_the_author_meta( 'login' ) function will
get the author's login name just fine, and you can use that in much
the same way as you use get_post_format(), to change things based on
author.

Heck, you can even make a minor change to the post_class to make it 
styleable:

function post_class_author($classes) {
$author = get_the_author_meta( 'login' );
$classes[] = "author-$author";
return $classes;
}
add_filter('post_class','post_class_author');

Voila. Now you get an "author-foo" or similar in the post_class()
output, and you can style posts from individual authors by simply
using .author-foo in the stylesheet. If you want to go further and add
a customizable stylesheet box for each author in the profile page, I
can show you how to do that too.
