Author Message Plugin 0.1

I am pleased to announce the initial release of the Author Message plugin.

This plugin allows you to quickly and easily add an image and a short message or bio for the author of a post/page to the bottom of the post, without the need to modify your theme templates or stylesheet. It would be ideal for use on a multi-author blog with a Newspaper / Magazine style layout. Or, in fact, anywhere you would want to display a little bit of information about the author underneath their article.

The default style looks a little bit like the image below (and a lot like the message at the bottom of this post), though it is easily customisable in both look and layout from within the plugins options page.

Author Message uses the Gravatar system to display the author image based on the email address in their WordPress profile page and the About Yourself text as the message.

More details on this plugin and installation instructions can be found on this page. You can download the plugin using the link below.
