Profile Pic

This plugin allows authors to add a picture to their profile and helps automate the process of displaying author profiles

Features:

• Automatic setup – no template/code modification needed
• Widget to display profile in the side bar – fully configurable
• Easy profile display with shortcodes – within a page or post simply add [printprofile] to display your author profile and picture, or [printprofilepic] to display your profile picture
• Optional template override setting will make author links go to the author’s profile
• Work in tandem with Krischan Jodies’ Get Recent Comments plugin (ie. displays your profile pic next to your comments)
• For multi-author blogs, administrators can edit (read: moderate) other authors’ pictures
• For those old-school WordPress folks, the plugin supports a full set of template tags to enable template integration
