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.

<h3>Translations</h3>
If you want to make a translation for your language, use the author-box-2.pot included and (if you want) send me the files (just the .po and .mo ones) to dev@ipublicis.com for inclusion in plugin’s package. You’ll be credited, of course.
