I’d like to add a user’s Twitter handle and have it linked to their profile next to the author’s name in the byline of a story similar to how the verge does it.

Hello mdeleon,
Unfortunately, our theme does not have any such an option that allows you to add something like this, sorry! You should edit the theme core files and try to add through a custom code as you wish. Notice that is not a simple task and if you are not aware of the steps which are needed to take in this case, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you because we cannot provide custom services at the moment, sorry!
Thanks for your understanding!
Ok I saw where you guys helped someone add a twitter icon to the byline which linked to their account so I figured it would be similar.
The longish answer is to use the built in WP function to echo the usermeta for twitter handle “if it exists,” and put that in the section of template block which has the byline under photo.
So, if you can find that function block in the templates, you can google how to echo the usermeta (the twitter handle you enter on the user setup page for each user), with conditional to only load *if* it exists.
