<h3>Configuration</h3>
<p>The configuration takes place in the administrative backend on<br />
 Options -> WP-HeadlineAnimator. The options are kept to a minimum to keep it<br />
 simple and intuitive. Basic options here:</p>
<p>Background image:   This text field requires the path to your HeadlineAnimator<br />
            Background picture relative to your WordPress installation.<br />
            If the picture is not accessible, the label is shown in red</p>
<p>Font file:      This text field requires the <em>absolute</em> path to a font<br />
            file (ttf) on your server. It is used to write text on the<br />
            Background image. If the fomt file is not accessible,<br />
            the label is shown in red</p>
<p>Target:         This is the path where your image should be written to;<br />
            relative to your WordPress Installation</p>
<p>Text on Picture:    Text entered here is shown on the Animator.</p>
<p>Text Color:         Enter a color here in Hex format (#ffffff is white). This<br />
            color will be used for the text on the picture.</p>
<p>Show date on animator:  If you want your headlines to be prefixed with a date,<br />
            check this box.</p>
<p>Date format:        This is direct access to the PHP date() function used<br />
            to display the date prefix of your headlines.</p>
<p>If you got things right, “HTML Code for your Animator” is shown including your<br />
animator.</p>
<h3>Bugs</h3>
<ul>
<li>no error handler on if output file is not writeable</li>
</ul>

<p>This simple little plugin gives each author on your blog the ability to setup a signature and to include it at the bottom of their posts.</p>
<p>The admin screen gives each author the ability to format their signature (a text area with HTML formatting enabled) and to indicate whether or not they want the signature on or off by default.</p>
<p>Regardless of the default setting, your authors may toggle the inclusion of the signature to ‘on’ or ‘off’ for each individual post at the bottom of the Write Post and Edit Post screens.</p>
<p>=Release History=<br />
 1.4 – Updated for WordPress 3.5.<br />
