The Author Box Reloaded in a blog using LTR language.
Adds an author box below text when viewing a single article. Idea taken from a Brian Gardner’s article.
It allows also the author to define links to the external websites like Twitter, Identi.ca, Facebook, Netlog, LinkedIn, Drupal Association and WordPress.Org (included in Author Box Reloaded Pack) (REQUIRED). Those external websites are very simple plugins and you can check the them to see how to make your own. At the front-end those will appear as clickable icons.
Starting In version 2.0, theme developers or authors can selectively include Author Box Reloaded using either a Template Tag or a Content Shortcode or even a mix of all this together.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY THE INSTALLATION SECTION HERE AND IN THE readme.txt INCLUDED.
Check out the other WordPress plugins by the same author.
If you want to make a translation for your language, use the author-box-2.pot included and (if you want) send me the files (just the .po and .mo ones) to dev@ipublicis.com for inclusion in plugin’s package. You’ll be credited, of course.
