    Hey, great widget. But I'm wondering if its possible to add the number of posts published by each author right next the name, displayed in the list? Like weblogsinc blogs? Cos I was just thinking that that would be a great feature..

    Great widget idea. Far better than simply creating a page.

  15. Fred Greco (not verified) Says:

    Is there any way to edit the widget so that the sorting can be done by number of posts instead of alphabetically?

    lovely, it took me less then 2 mins to set it all up. By the way it works with WP 2.2. check out at www.ghumakkar.com Good work. Probably this must be one of those few times when I did something like this so quickly. Thanks Mike. Nandan

  25. joe (not verified) Says:

    thanks, seems to be what we were looking for... maybe we will use the plugin soon

  26. Nandan Jha (not verified) Says:

    Hi Mike, Feature Request - Author name is linked to its URL and the count is linked to 'Search of his posts'. Any luck :) Would be useful for people where multiple people write at a single blog thanks Nandan

  27. Anji (not verified) Says:

    Is there a way to make this more usable? for example, I noticed that unless I hide empty authors, every subscribed user shows up on the list. Also, can it be modified to highlight a featured author, or a guest blogger? or even rate authors by popularity? Thanks, anji

  28. Giuly (not verified) Says:

    Awesome plugin! it took me just few seconds and it works perfectly! is there a possibility to link the authors' names to their respective email addresses instead oflinking them to their page? thanks! Giulia

    I have three questions after installation: 1. All that shows up in my sidebar is "Authors." No names are listed from my my list of authors. 2. How do I manage the features? I can't find a page for that in my admin area. 3. When I dl'd the .zip file I got two .php docs. One is Get Author Profile and the other is Authors. I only see one of them in my Plug-Ins Tab in WordPress. Are they combined, somehow? thank you! Meredith
