This plugin works, but it takes over your widgets so that the “donate” button shows up on every single one of your widgets (not just this one). Also, there are no options to make the padding smaller, so the social share buttons go onto several different lines, which is not aesthetically pleasing.

By far the best about-me widget on the repository. Keep up the great work Panka!

Used it as a sidebar widget at forwardstepsblog.com plus inserted using the short-code within content, on the contact page and the about page at the same blog, if you want to see examples of both types.

Excellent, intuitive user bio/author bio plugin – would like to have more control over font and font size, but I’m very happy with this product.
