<p>This plugin gives you the ability to add a Author introduction to each post. No editing of themes is required to use the plugin and a default layout is set up on install. Play with the html layout until you get exactly what you want. A number of tags are provided to give you access to the Author data <em>[authorID], [authorDisplayName], [authoremail], [authorURL], [authorPostsLink], [authorGravatar]</em> and <em>[authorBio]</em> also optionally you can use php if you are an advanced user.</p>
<p>Tags are evaluated first, then php before the results are returned.</p>
