This widget is no longer supported or maintained.<\/em><\/p>\n\n

Set your blog up right with an About section instantly pulled from your about.me page.<\/p>\n\n

Automatic<\/h4>\n\n

Your blog is immediately populated with a photo, biography and links to all your social networks. As your about.me page is updated, so is your about.me widget on your WordPress blog.<\/p>\n\n

Social<\/h4>\n\n

Readers can easily connect where you are online via the social icons included in the widget. Increase friends and followers and show off your online presence.<\/p>\n\n

Customize<\/h4>\n\n

Set the name of the section (About the Author, Who I Am etc.), change the size of your name, and choose which elements of your about.me page to display!<\/p>\n\n

Visual<\/h4>\n\n

Bring in the beautiful background from your about.me page, as well as the visual icons from your social networks.<\/p>\n\n

If you don't have an account, sign up at about.me<\/a> to easily create a page and use the widget.<\/p>\n\n\n

Quickly get the about.me widget working on your blog:<\/p>\n\n

    \n
  1. Upload the widget archive to your \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> directory.<\/li>\n
  2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.<\/li>\n
  3. Go to Appearance >> Widgets<\/strong> to move the widget into your theme and configure the name and settings.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

    If you don't have an account, sign up at about.me<\/a> to easily create a page and use the widget.<\/p>\n\n

    Embed in a Post<\/h4>\n\n

    You can embed your about.me page in a post instead of adding it to your theme. To do so:<\/p>\n\n

      \n
    1. Install and activate the about.me widget as described above, but do not move the widget into your theme.<\/li>\n

    2. Add the following shortcode to your post, substituting your own about.me username:<\/p>\n\n

      [aboutme username=\"user_name\"]<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

      Your about.me page will be embedded in the post with your background image, name, bio, and icons for your social networks.<\/p>\n\n

      Note: Embedding in a post is in Beta testing.<\/p>\n\n\n

      \n
      Will the widget update automatically?<\/dt>\n

      Yes, when you update your about.me page, your widget will update within a few hours.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      Can I edit the widget?<\/dt>\n

      Yes, you control the title of the widget, the text size and determine whether you'd like an image to display or not.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      What does: \"We encountered an error while communicating with the about.me server.\" mean?<\/dt>\n

      If you see this more than once please contact us at help@about.me!<\/p><\/dd>\n

      Where can I post feedback?<\/dt>\n

      Let us know what you think at our feedback forum<\/a>.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      How do I get an about.me page?<\/dt>\n

      Head to about.me to register<\/a> for your free about.me page. It takes less than a minute to set up.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
