Today, we released initial version of About Me 3000 widget for WordPress. What is this all about ?
This widget shows general information about you.
Add your email and small description, and your gravatar will be shown next to the summary. You can also show icons (URLs) of your social network accounts.
Currently, the following social networks are supported:
* Facebook
* Friendfeed
* Delicious
* Technorati
* Twitter
You can even add your Feedburner ID, and the plugin will show the number of subscribers, next to a standard Feedburner image.
You can download it here. Obviously, it’s absolutely free!

Hi again Csaba!
As I told you before,
I want it on a single page,
not as a widget in the sidebar.
But you probably understod that already.
I am very impressed with your site. The quality of the design and content makes it a real winner! Thanks again for a great site and a great resource.
Dear Csasba,
as the others sayed: Great Plugin. I´ve implement it on my Page and it´s doing well. No issues at all, just two wishes:
1. open Links in new Window
2. Chance of 2nd Install (We are two Authors with different Profiles on Twitter etc.)
If you can give me a hint, I´m a little bit familiar with php
Regards from Berlin, Germany
I like your social media sharing links, can i download a plugin for that from your site?
Hi,
I was wondering if there is the possibility of linking to a company profile on linkedin. The current http://www.linkedin/in url doesn’t seem to work with the linkedin company url
Aaron.
hi, thanks for your plugin, i have a question, my wordpress theme do not support the widget, so can you tell us how to add a code to the theme file,
Hi there,
This plug-in is great. Thank you for making it!
I have one concern: When I first installed it, my gravatar image showed up but now it will not show, regardless of if I have the option to show it enabled or not.
Also, I second Andy’s request for an option to open links in new windows, and if possible would also like to see html tagging enabled so I can tweak my text inside the text box (like italics, bold, line breaks, etc.). And lastly I think it would be awesome to have either a link to the user’s ABOUT page from this widget, and/or to have the option to pull text directly from the user’s ABOUT page so they don’t have to update both.
Thanks!
Ah ~ I figured out the problem with the gravatar – I changed my email in the settings and it messed with the image.
Please consider my other suggestions!
Looking forward to new improvements.

I’m sure this has been asked, but I can’t seem to find any good info on it. I’d like to edit your plugin to ad other social sites. It looks intuitive, but I can’t get it to work. I’m sure I’m doing something wrong.
Example of what I’m doing. I edit your aboutme3000.php file. I add “Posterous” Titles array, and insert “YourID.posterous.com” in the corresponding spot in the URLs array.
The option “Posterous” does show up in the Settings page, but it’s missing the favicon (I know, I need to manually put one on my server), but otherwise, it looks like the others. I enter my ID, click save. When I view the active plugin, it shows an empty space where the missing favicon would be, but it’s using the wrong URL (in my example, it’s using YourID.stumbleupon.com.
Any info would be appreciated!
Hello and thanks for the nice work.
I can’t quite get my gravatar to load instead of the std pic.
When I compare the URL’s there seems to be a “?s=80″ at the end … if I remove that then the right gravatar loads …
Am I doing something wrong ? how can I edit the URL called for the Gravatar or how can I get my gravatar URL to match the one called by the widget ?
Thanks in advance,
JPh
Maybe it can help with the URL see blog under construction at:
http://theripplehub.com/blog
You can see the About me plugin with the std avatar… right click on the pic and remove the ?s=80 at the end of the Url to load the correct avatar… does this help?
Cheers,
JPh
How do I add this to a page and not the sidebar?
Great plugin, thank you!
Also, thank you for making it so easy to add other social networks! I added Flickr, and all I had to do was add the word “Flickr” and an example URL, and the .png image. Very slick!
I used the flickr icon from here, if you want to add it to your plugin: http://icons-search.com/IconDetails.aspx?IconID=19186
There is a small bug (typo?) on line 57 in aboutme3000.php, makes the email.png not showing in the widget.
When requesting the blog url: , you need to make it request the install dir:
Am I missing something, or is there a way to make the social icons list horizontally instead of vertically? I’m running WordPress 2.8.5 with the Bold theme from Elegant Themes, and the icons appear underneath the About Me text vertically, breaking through down the sidebar into other widgets.
Hi, just passing by to thank you for this pluggin, I’m currently using (twitter/linkedin) it in my blog http://www.logisticadescomplicada.com and it’s perfect!
Cheers!
Great work for this Widget!
Have to add any other icons options ?
- orkut profile
- google profile
- google reader
- picasa webalbuns
- user linux count
Tks !
I really like this plug-in but I am having a problem with it. You can view it on my homepage… you have to scroll down to mid – page.
I can’t seem to get the plugin to run horizontally in my sidebar and fill up the width of it. Instead it is running vertically and only filling up my sidebar half way.
When I try to place it at the top of my sidebar, it still only fills the sidebar half way with a blank space next to it and on some pages it causes the entire contents of my sidebar to shift all the way to the right side of my site.
Help!
I know that this problem might also have to do with my theme. I have contacted it’s author also.
Please offer any help you can.
thanks
I wonder if this plugin can be implemented on a regular site which is not WordPress. Any advice is highly appreciated.
Hey great widget man, will be checking this out right after I post this comment.
thanks
I love your plugn, but unfortunately, the font is too big for my theme and it runs out of the sidebar. Tried putting in html styling but it is stripped out. Tried creating a class in my css but that is also stripped out. Not really familiar with php, but had a look at your code and don’t see anywhere these settings can be changed. Any way to do so? Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.
Hello,
I really like your About Me 3000 plugin.
Can I make a feature request?
If so, (hehe) I’d like to be able to specify a URL that the user will be taken to if they click “About Me” or my gravatar picture.
I’ll pay $10 for the feature. Just send me a paypal account.
Thanks!

Hi,
I would like to create a hyperlink in the text field so that it takes the viewers to an About me page which is excluded from the Nav Bar.
I tried adding a html code to the “Read More..” link…but it does not work…How to sort this out.
Any chance you’d be willing to update this plugin? The feedburner badge appears to be broken and it could use more service links like MobileMe, Tumblr, Posterous, Google Buzz, Brightkite, etc.
Thanks for any help, and I’m willing to donate if it helps, but I can’t find a link.
nice work!
but the email icon source description in the aboutme3000.php should be “” instead of “” to prevent those two urls are different.
Long-time user, nice work.
Plans to add the location-based site’s & their icons? (Foursquare?)
Thx!
Under the plugin settings, About You field, I can’t put in a link. When I update options, the link is removed. Any ideas?
Hi, I really like your plug in, it’s just what I was looking for.
I am not sure if this is a silly question but how can I get my picture in there?
Here’s the link to my website and what you can see is the default Gravatar.

Thanks again.
Hey-
Great work. A few comments:
1) Would be lovely to be able to include HTML in the ‘bio’ section
2) every few times i try to go to the admin page, i get a “you do not have sufficient permissions’ error. I’m using WP3.0
Thanks!
-Jeremy
I must say, I really like this plugin. However, I agree with some of the previous commentors, it would be great if we could put in our ‘company’ or ‘blog’ Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. accounts. If we try to add those the links don’t work. I would also love to see more social networks and the ability to link to the picture and a read more link that we can specify. This way we can use this to allow the user to continue to our about page. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!
Hello,
I saw this plug-in in action at http://www.thirdopinion.se and was very impressed. Therefore I tried to add it to my own site.
But, when I try to access settings I get this message “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”
I am the only author of this site (but the admin of this site isn’t called admin due to safety reasons). Any idea of why this is happening? And how I can fix it?
I would also love to see Google profiles added. Especially with the rumors that a new Google social network could be on the horizon. Great plug-in, thank you!
“You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”
wtf is wrong? I just installed it through the “Add New Plugin” option and activated it and that’s what i get!
Could there be a plugin conflict?
Feedback is appreciated
I get “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.” every time…
i always syndicate feeds on my subcribers and of course feedburner is definitely a great help ‘-”
I’m also getting the “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page” when trying to access the administrator settings.
Any thoughts on how to troubleshoot this problem? I’m going to guess that the plugin is checking the database and doesn’t like what it see’s. I was just curious if there’s anything to check before I start tearing the code apart.
Cheers!
Issue has been fixed for WP 3.0 and up. Small changes in WP code caused this. You can upgrade from your CP or download new version 1.6 here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/about-me-3000/
Hi, first I love the plug in – it’s exactly what I was looking for so thanks for that! But, now that I’ve inserted it into my blog, I find that when I try to facebook a new post my gravatar shows up instead of the featured image for that post. Is there anyway I can change this??
I like this plug-in, but it won’t work with my site. A white screen appears after log-in, and I can’t get to my dash-board. Everything works fine as long as the About Me 3000 plug-in is deactivated… too bad
Morten
I reinstalled the plug-in and now it works just fine…

I love this plugin, have been using for a couple of years. I recently upgraded and added other icons. Then the white background disappeared. It was working fine like the other widgets on my page.
Can you tell me where to go to modify the CSS? Or if this is caused by something else.
My links are broken (except for email), despite the proper link being provided. Thoughts??
Dont use full URLs for links, So e.g. instead of use: http://www.twitter.com/supernatural10
enter just: upernatural10
The widget will prepend the rest.
