http://thabto.wordpress.com/author/godsbooklover/
http://thabto.wordpress.com/author/krsedjn1999/
And you need your gravatar URLs. If you had uploaded your gravatars to your blog, you go to Media Library, locate each image, click Edit, copy the File URL from the Save module. If you hadn't uploaded them to your blog, you go to Media > Add New, upload them from your computer then click Edit and copy the File URL from the Save module.

Links widget solution:
a) You go to Links > Add New, enter the author name in the Name field, paste the author URL into the Web Address field, create an "Authors" category, paste the image URL in the Image Address field, set a rating number, click Add Link. Same thing for the second author, only the Authors category will now be there to select, of course, and you set a different rating number. The link with the higher rating number will show above the other one.
b) You go to Appearance > Widgets, add a Links widget to Sidebar, set the Category pulldown to "Authors" and the Sort By pulldown to "Link rating", check the options "Show Link Image" and "Show Link Name", save, drag to reposition.

Text widget solution:

<ul>
<li>
<a href="AUTHOR1 URL HERE"><img style="width:48px;" src="IMAGE1 URL HERE" alt="IMAGE1 DESCRIPTION HERE" /></a> <a href="AUTHOR1 URL HERE">AUTHOR1 NAME HERE</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="AUTHOR2 URL HERE"><img style="width:48px;" src="IMAGE2 URL HERE" alt="IMAGE2 DESCRIPTION HERE" /></a> <a href="AUTHOR2 URL HERE">AUTHOR2 NAME HERE</a>
</li>
</ul>

That's a basic solution - the appearance can be modified any way you please.

I'm pretty hopeless at HTML, which I believe is how I'd have to configure the text widget. Not even sure how to go about using the Links widget for this.

I DO appreciate the suggestion, and I'll take a look to see if a primer exists somewhere, but without some instructions, there's no way for me to do it.

Is this possible -- if so, how?

There are many to choose from. It takes approximately 6 months of focused writing and frequent publishing of original content that attracts back links to achieve a page rank. The factors contributing to page rank are many, but the most important one is back links to your posts from other similar blogs in the same niche that your own blog is in.

The way Google handles it's rankings is a closely guarded secret, and as long as you post good quality content, I'm sure you'll make it towards the top, but shooting for a specific spot will just drive you crazy.

I just started a wordpress for my psych/folk band Backwords. We have been using our old site \"backwordsmusic.net\" for a while, but we want to migrate to our new wordpress site backwordsmusic.wordpress.com, which I got to point to backwordsmusic.com -- When you search \"backwords\" on google - our myspace comes up first, then backwordsmusic.net comes up second with the tagline \"backwords is a rock band from brooklyn and philadelphia, they have cowboy hearts and urban souls. they love cats and bounce on stage!\"

I have two questions - 1) how can I get the new wordpress site (which is backwordsmusic.com) to appear on this google search maybe second, right under the myspace.. and secondly, how can I add the little tagline on wordpress? - similar to the one underneath the .net site (\"backwords is a rock band from brooklyn and philadelphia, they have cowboy hearts and urban souls. they love cats and bounce on stage!\") - is there a place on the dashboard to write one of these?

Thanks for your help,
Brian

Sometimes this works just fine, but sometimes it does not. Sometimes the search engines grab words that have little to do with the content or subject matter. By taking some time to categorize and tag your posts, you are taking more control of where you content shows up in searches (I say "more" because the search engines still might grab some of their own keywords as well).
