Overview
This widget will easily allow you to display the “Biographical Info” of any blog author’s user profile in the sidebar. It allows you to choose from multiple authors/users on the blog, if your blog does, in fact, have multiple authors. Subscribers are excluded for obvious reasons (Contributors, Authors, Editors, and Administrators are included).
Additionally, the widget grants the ability to display the selected author’s Gravatar, with multiple size and alignment options available.
