Is there a way to move my bio, archives, twitter feed, etc. from the bottom of a pre-set theme to the left side margin of my blog instead?

Because of how the Book Lite theme is purposely designed to be a one column layout and because of how its structure was setup by the theme designer, there is not a simple way to move the widgets from the bottom of the theme to the left. It's not impossible, but it's definitely an in-depth change, and you should note that you may need to do some additional work and spend some time to get it right if you want to delve into it. I work on it for a little while and came up with something to start:

#main,
#colophon {
	max-width: 980px;
	position: relative;
}
#main article,
#comments {
	float: right;
	width: 750px;
}
#secondary {
	width: 200px;
	position: absolute;
	top: 55px;
}
#secondary #first,
#secondary #second,
#secondary #third {
	width: 100%;
}
.site-info,
#infinite-handle {
	padding-left: 230px;
}
.custom-background #main,
.custom-background #masthead,
.custom-background #colophon {
	background-color: inherit;
}

Note that it makes a fundamental shift in the structure of the theme. I floated some elements, and I wasn't sure how to keep the white background together with the floats, so I got rid of the background. You could keep it the way the example has it which is no separate content area background color or you could change the entire background color to white.

You can try the example out by adding it to your Appearance → Custom Design → CSS editor and clicking the Preview button. Note that you can adjust any of the numbers to see how things are moved around.

The site you are asking about does not seem to be hosted on WordPress.COM so you need to make friends over at WordPress.ORG the keepers of the software you are using.

Is not a WordPress.COM hosted blog. period end.

And one of the authors has a bio section, yet an auther bio box doesn't show up at the end of his posts.

Scrolls down to Harrison: http://blog.uloop.com/meet-writers/

And notice on his posts there are no autho bio boxs..... http://blog.uloop.com/2011/11/companies-ambassador-programs/

In a wp.com blog, if you use a theme that displays the author profiles, they will show if and only if the authors have entered info in their profiles: if we were authors in the same multi-author blog and you've added some info in the "About you" field of your profile while I haven't, your posts will display your profile and my posts won't.

They must have found some sort of hack to make their author bio box not appear.

But what you should be more concerned about is the pages of the blog linked to your username: they take too long to load because you've got too many (30?) posts per page with too many images and videos. For visitors with a slow connection, the browser will time out long before loading all that stuff, and the visitors will see nice big empty spaces instead. If you aren't interested in visitors from the NASA headquarters only, you should limit the number of posts per page to only a few (in Settings>Reading) and use the read-more tag to truncate your posts.

I've noticed that some blog contributors are able to remove the "author bio" box from the end of their post. I'm not sure how they have done this because they are not admins in the blog. For example, this post and this post do not have an author bio and their bio is tacked in on the end of their post. While this post DOES have an author box.

How does one remove the author box if you are not an admin? Is there a way to do it by adding html code?

I'm kind of a newbie so please don't be too technical in your answer.

Thanks!

The easiest way to remove the author info at the bottom of each post in Twenty Ten is to go to Users > My Profile and delete the text in "About you".

I would like to know how can I include the option "read-more" in every post so that the people interested can click but it the home the complete text doens't show.
Also, I have display mi bio-avatar in everypost and I want to hide it, so that the people interested can click in the specific page.

Many thanks!

When you view a post directly your bio appears at the bottom of the post as about (username):

No matter what I've tried I cannot seem to be able to edit this part of the blog. Any thoughts?

I've tried through the gravatar link and all.

Thank you!
