 > In this instance the get_the_author_link() gets the website URL that is
 entered into the text field on a user's profile which is usually an
 external URL (unless someone manually enters a link to the site), not the
 users post archive page.
 I agree. If there was a easy way to check the url to be external, it would
 be nicer to check that and apply external if it really is an external
 link. Provided a new patch - based on Ipstenu's fix - to get this ready.
