[edit] Add optional URL?

It would be cool to add an optional URL attribute to this user box. Does anyone know how to do that? It would be great if

{{User blog|www.myblog.com}}

would create a user box that says,

"This user maintains a blog at www.myblog.com"

Never mind! There is such a thing at:

{{user blogger|http://example.com|your blog name}}

This ubx looks much better than {{user blogger}}, though, IMHO. It wouldn't be that hard to rig this one so that the word "blog" is an external link to your blog instead of to the WP article blog, so that typing or subst'ing {{user blog|www.myblog.com}} results in a text output of "This user maintains a blog." I did this on my user page, and it looks just fine. Microtonal 22:02, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
