Author Customization gives you much more flexibility in managing post and page author data. Your author data will no longer be tied solely to the WordPress user system, and can now be managed on a per-post basis. Author name and description are saved with each post, allowing you to preserve this information as it was when the post was published.
Features
<ul>
<li>Per-post author display name and biographical info</li>
<li>TinyMCE (WYSIWYG) editor for user profile and per-post biographical info</li>
<li>rel=”nofollow” link inside biographical info entries</li>
</ul>

Author Customization

Author Customization expands core author management with features such as per-post author information and rich user bio editing.

<h4>WYSIWYG Widgets or rich text widgets</h4>
This plugin adds so called “Widget Blocks” to your website which you can easily display in your widget areas.
You can create or edit the widget blocks just like you would edit any post or page, with all the default WordPress editing functions enabled. This way, you can use the visual editor that comes with WordPress to format your widgets. You can even use media uploading to insert images and so forth.
Features:
<ul>
<li>Create beautiful widgets without having to write HTML code</li>
<li>Easily insert media into your widget content</li>
<li>Add headings, lists, blockquotes and other HTML elements to your widgets using the WordPress visual editor</li>
<li>Use WP Links dialog to easily link to any of your pages or posts from a widget</li>
<li>Use shortcodes inside your widgets</li>
<li>Translation ready</li>
</ul>
