Blog-style author sidebar

I think a blog-style sidebar can humanzie a directory. So think of those blogs like, "hey my name is Amy and I like long walks in the woods and cuddling with my two dogs."
Add in a profile style picture and suddenly the directory can have some personality.

It becomes less of a "random AI-generated" directory and more of a trustworthy site.

Bonus if we can add stuff under the sidebar, like an optin box or something.
