The author image plugin for WordPress lets you easily add author images on your site. Alternatively, place the following call in the loop where you want the author image to appear:
<?php the_author_image();?>
To configure your author image, browse Users / Your Profile in the admin area.
Multi-Author Sites
For sites with multiple authors, the widget offers the ability to insert a link to the author’s posts – his archives.
Single Author Sites
Normally, the widget will only display an author image when it can clearly identify who the content’s author actually is. In other words, on singular pages or in the loop.
If you run a single author site, or a site with multiple ghost writers, be sure to check the “This site has a single author” option. The widget will then output your image at all times.
Installation Notes
To make use of this plugin, your wp-content folder must be writable by the server (chmod 777 or some share hosting 775) please contact your system administrator/hosting admin for more information.
Image Style
You can use the .entry_author_image CSS class to customize where and how the image appears. For instance:
.entry_author_image {
float: left;
border: solid 1px outset;
margin: 1.2em 1.2em 0px .1em;
}
Overriding CSS Floats
When displaying wide videos, images or tabular data, it becomes desirable to bump the content below the author’s image. To achieve this, insert the following code in your post:
<div style="clear: both;"></div>

Is there a way to have the plugin upload the image in the original dimensions rather than shrinking it?
