   ="<?php the_author_meta( 'display_name' ); ?>’s Website" alt="Author Webite Link"
   src="<?php echo get_avatar( get_the_author_meta('ID'), 32 ); ?>"> </a>`

 * Might be typo in the get_avatar() function.
 *     ```
       <a href="<?php the_author_meta( 'user_url' ); ?>">
       <img class="alignnone" title="<?php the_author_meta( 'display_name' ); ?>’s Website" alt="Author Webite Link" src="<?php echo get_avatar( get_the_author_meta('ID',32) ); ?>">
       </a>
       ```
   
 * With 32 being the id of the current author.

 * 32 is the size of the image, changing it does work on changing the size of the
   boken image.

 * Just 32 can never be a valid image size as far as I know.
 * Maybe `array(32,32)`

 * it assumes square, if i insert just
 * `<?php echo get_avatar( get_the_author_meta('ID',32) ); ?>`
 * i do get the image just fine so i know it works

 * Ok, I actually went and looked at get_avatar(). It returns a complete image tag,
   not just the src.
 *     ```
       <a href="<?php the_author_meta( 'user_url' ); ?>"><?php echo get_avatar( get_the_author_meta('ID',32) ); ?></a>
       ```
