Author Image Plugin For WordPress

The author image plugin for WordPress lets you easily add author images to posts and articles on your site:

It creates a widget that you can insert in a sidebar, or much about anywhere if using any of the Semiologic or Semiologic Reloaded themes.

Alternatively, place the following call in the loop where you want the author image to appear:

<?php the_author_image(); ?>

Lastly, browse Users / Your Profile in the admin area, upload an image file, and you're done.
