Everyone gets sick of all the thousands of advertisements seen on the internet, on just about every website you visit, at any given time. Some advertisements are so annoying and sometimes you just want them gone. You may be one of the 58 million Firefox users that have installed the extension, 
I recently came to learn how useful using the excerpt feature that is built into Wordpress. You can use excerpts if you want to show a short blurb for each post on your blog’s homepage, which I have been wanting to do on Tweeaks for a long time now I just didn’t know how to do it. Since I was doing some layout modifications, and tweaks FINALLY, I figured I should find out how to use excerpts, and I am happy I did. It’s so easy
I have been working on making a plugin for WordPress users, that would add an Author bio box to the bottom of posts. I know there’s other plugins that do this already out there, but I don’t think any of them add a Twitter field to your profile page.
What my plugin does is it utilizes your information from the WP dashboard on your profile. It makes better use of the fields by removing the Yahoo IM one and adding a Twitter field. Then it will pull the information from that and the URL and Bio of the post author, as well as display the Gravatar of the author by getting the authors email address. Then it adds a nice box in between the post and the comments.
I am extremely excited about this. I never thought I would ever be able to complete it, and get it working. I managed to create the functions and simulate it over at New2WP, but getting it to work in a plugin has been a bit more work. I am still working on cleaning it up and adding the finishing touches, and then I will submit it to WordPress.
You can see an example of it below, I am currently using it on this site, and I’d love to know what you think!

Is this the same plugin that tells how many posts the author has written on the site as well?

No this plugin doesn't show that, sorry.
