Well, well once again I’m coming onto the blog to show off yet another killer plugin! This one is for Multi-author, and personal websites/blogs. It displays the ‘About the Author’ box at the end of all posts….but with a Twitter Twist to it! So Here is the low down on what this plugin is all about.
If you scroll dow to the bottom of this post, you will see a box with my picture in it, my bio that i filled out in my profile page, a link to my personal website, and yes…thats right, it’s also displaying my latest tweet! I have combined the function of displaying the author info, and twitter using jQuery and JSON, tossed it in a WordPress Salad, and now I’m serving it up to you to use and abuse 
It’s simple to use. Just upload it to your plugins folder, un-zip it, activate and go to your profile edit page. Once you’re at or on your profile edit page you will see a new input title ‘Twitter Username’. Simply enter JUST your username that you use on twitter, fill in your bio info, add you website to the mix and go check out your new ‘Author Tweets’ Box!
The Author Tweets box can be styled easy by going into the authortweets.css file and changing a few things around. Default color scheme will blend with most websites tho…
You can also style the Author Tweets Box in other ways, such as how I have incorporated Cufon-YUI into the box on this website (Graphic Dreams).
Have Fun and Enjoy!!

This is a sweet idea, I was going to use author box 2 plugin, but this idea has me trying to chose between the two. Do you plan on adding the ability to link to other social services like a facebook, linkedin, etc?

Hey Jason,
Ya we are going to be including other social media sites. We plan on giving the option of your choice between a few of them (just working on some minor issues retreiving the data from a couple sites we have tried), but hoprfully within the next month-ish we will have more option on the table.

Where do you go for support on this plugin? The gravatar does not appear in between the dividers but instead on top of the second one. Also, the whole section appears too close to my tweet button, how can I move it down a space?
