How to output taxonomy term (incl. link to archive) on author.php?

Question

I have used the excellent tutorial of Justin Tadlock on Custom user taxonomies in WordPress to add a Blog custom taxonomy to both my Posts post_type as well as the user object_type.

In his tutorial Justin then outputs a list of users that share the same (profession) taxonomy.

I on the other hand would like to output the specific term of my Blog taxonomy on the author.php archive, together with some other user_meta-fields I already have added to the User Profile.

How would I be able to accomplish this? Ideally it not only outputs the taxonomy term, but also a link to the term archive.

I found my own answer in the Codex.

In my use case scenario:

$blog_terms = wp_get_object_terms( $post->ID, 'blog' );
if ( ! empty( $blog_terms ) ) {
  if ( ! is_wp_error( $blog_terms ) ) {
    foreach( $blog_terms as $term ) {
      echo '<p>' . __( 'Associated Blog: ', 'wys' ) . '<a href="' . get_term_link( $term->slug, 'blog' ) . '">' . $term->name . '</a></p>'; 
    }
  }
}
