Adds an author box below text when viewing a single article. Idea taken from a <a href="http://smsh.me/7ngf" rel="nofollow ugc">Brian Gardner’s</a> 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 <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/author-box-reloaded-pack/" rel="ugc">Author Box Reloaded Pack</a>) (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 <code>readme.txt</code> INCLUDED.

This plugin allows full control of your user permalinks, allowing you to change both the author base (the ‘/author/’ portion of the author URLs), and the author slug (defaults to the username of the author). You can set the author base globally, or you can set it to be user-specific based on a user’s role. You now have the power to craft the perfect URL structure for you Author pages.
WordPress default structure http://example.com/author/username/.
Edit Author Slug allows for http://example.com/ninja/master-ninja/.
Using a role-based author base would allow for http://example.com/ida/master-splinter/ (for an Administrator Role), or http://example.com/koga/leonardo/ (for a Subscriber Role).
Development of this plugin takes place on <a href="https://github.com/thebrandonallen/edit-author-slug/" title="Edit Author Slug on Github" rel="nofollow ugc">GitHub</a>. Pull requests are always welcome!
