Thanks! http://aquestionofperspective.com/
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.
Great widget! Thank you!
Excellent plugin! Les élves apprécient de pouvoir chercher les articles par auteur! Merci
Nice widget!
THANK YOU for your widget!!
I have been trying to do this for 2 weeks!!
It works great!
Is there any way to edit the widget so that the sorting can be done by number of posts instead of alphabetically?
This has helped me out a lot, thanks.
Great widget… I was about to start writing some code to do exactly this when I decided to google it and I found your site… You just saved me some time!
Thanks a Lot!

Your plugin works fine in FF but in IE a part of the list under my mouse disappears when I move up, moving down it works. Do you know the reason? The other parts in the sidebar are working very well.
so nice! thanks for all this!
Great Widget. Thanks
cool widget – nice and simple and does what it says on the tin – thanks very much!
lovely, it took me less then 2 mins to set it all up. By the way it works with WP 2.2.

Good work. Probably this must be one of those few times when I did something like this so quickly.
Thanks Mike.

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

I just installed this, it’s a good plugin
I’ve got the plugin installed and working, but the author names run together on the same line. Is this styling issue or something to configure in the plugin?
I figured it out. The css for the sidebar ul needed to have a display: block property. Added that and it’s fine.

I’m looking for something to de-list authors after they haven’t posted for a set amount of time. Like Recent and All Anything around like that?
Great plugin works fine (I have been using it for a year or so).
I also would need the facility to take out form the list acertain numberrs of authors, would it be automatic (time since last post) or by typeing the name.
Thank you

Thanks for the mod, Michael Michael! That worked for me. Maybe I was having that error because I hadn’t updated the widget configuration. I initially got the same error with your version as well, but after I updated the settings, it works fine.
I like this Widget very much. It is exactly what I have been looking for.
Thanks a lot! It saved me much time!

Hola! estupendo trabajo con el widget, acabo de probarlo con un blog que me han encargado y funciona estupendamente.
un saludete desde Asturias vecino!
Implemented your widget and it’s working fine. Thank you, it was a big help.
I’m working on a blog for a local news station and they are insisting that they have their “on-air” personalities picture next to their Authors. I’m using a “post-Avatar” widget to show their picture next to their post.
I wonder if there is a way to get an avatar image next to the author listing in your widget.
Great stuff! Exactly what I was looking for. I’ve implemented on a small scale.
brilliant plugin, I have been looking for something like this for a while. You can see the results here:
Thanks again for a great plugin.
Same request as above. Also any plans to order the list based on contribution, so one who writes most is on top and so on.
Its working very well. Recently I installed another one
but went back to this one quickly.
It has worked fantastic for me.
Thanks for the widget! Works great.

Thanks for the widget. I don’t see why this isn’t built-in to Word Press to begin with. The ability to display the author’s gravitar next to their name would be awesome.
