[OWW-Discuss] blog authorship on OpenWetware?

Hello,

In perusing the blog community on OpenWetWare, I noticed that the blog
author or authors isn't featured very prominently or at all on OWW
blogs.  I was wondering what people thought of

1) Having a policy that all blog posts are "signed" attributable to a
single OWW user.  Again, similar to the policy on the main site
(http://openwetware.org/wiki/OpenWetWare:Username_policy), we'd push
for people to use their full publication name.

2) Featuring author names more prominently and linking those names to
OWW user pages (perhaps at the top with the blog title).

It seems that this policy would be in keeping with the norms of both
scientific publishing and what we've been moving towards on the wiki.

Thanks,

Reshma
