Big Bio Box

Adds an additional bio box with tinymce editor into the profile page and swaps the default user description in author.php with the new formatted bio.

This plugin allows you to enter [author_bio] anywhere within the content of a post or page to display the biography of the author of that post or page.
The output now contains HTML, which can be customised very easily with extra parameters – see Installation for a how-to – to sit around the bio, as defined in /wp-admin/profile.php.
By default the shortcode produces the author of that post or page. However, extra parameters enable you to specify a different user whose bio you want to print out – see usage instructions.
Feature requests welcomed with open arms!
