Templates Using This Widget
You can use this widget only in article page templates.
Customizing This Widget
Users with webmaster or administrator accounts may customize this widget in the site's widget editor.
- Link to e-mail form instead of mailto e-mail link. Checking this option in the "Article Page Format" panel links the author's e-mail address to a web form instead of using a "mailto" link. The web form allows your site's visitors to send messages to the author. This prevents the author's address from being displayed to your site's visitors and also hides their address from the web spiders and robots used by spammers to harvest addresses.
Styles
The ++BYLINE++ widget is displayed in the "Article Page Bylines" style (class="bmarticleByline").
