 * I’ve got a section on a theme were I’ve called the author’s gravatar to show 
   up as a picture that accompanies their post. I want to make to if a visitor clicks
   on that gravatar it would take them to the author’s page with their information
   and past posts.
 * So the code that calls the gravatar is:
    `<?php echo get_avatar( get_the_author_email(),'
   70' ); ?>`
 * So I tried this just to see if it would work:
    `a href=" <?php author_post_link();?
   >" <?php echo get_avatar( get_the_author_email(), '70' ); ?> /a`
 * And that didn’t work. So is there a way I can put the author’s link to their 
   page and link it back to their gravatar picture?

 * You have some minor incorrections in the code shown, but I guess they are caused
   by the copy-paste.
 * That aught to work, what sort of error do you get?

 * For whatever reason the code wasn’t showing up correctly, so I removed the <>
   brackets and it seem to show okay, so I know the code syntax is wrong.
 * The the_author_post_link command creates it own link and anchor tags. So just
   the anchor tag looks like this: (simplify)
 * `<a href="<a href="/author/user">user</a>"><image></a>`
 * So I just want a way to dynamically creates the link to the author page so I 
   can make the gravatar a clickable link.
