Lame. Time to delete my about.me and host it all natively. You can’t trust anyone anymore.

Will be deleting my about.me account in protest – rubbish!

I don’t know what the problem is but my about.me link back looks a lot better just typing in the embedded code than when I used this widget.
If anyone reading this is having trouble – like text without line breaks, no border, etc – try the plain code given for Tumblr instead. It works much better for me.
(I won’t be back to read replies, I’ve solved the problem for myself).

Plugin doesn’t look like screenshots and it won’t display on site. Basically asks for the “About” name and then to design it yourself. I can do this with the text widget but instead wasted time installing plugin.

Broken plugin.

Recently I was performing a few profiling scans on my website, to try to figure out what are the bottlenecks — my goal is to get the home page to load under 6 seconds (without cache). This seems to be an unachievable goal, but I used to have it taking half a minute or sometimes more, so I’ve not given up hopes in extracting a bit more performance out of the system…
Now imagine my shock and surprise when I found out that 10-15% of the load time and overall resource consumption was being taken by the About.me Widget plugin! Oh wow! That was completely unexpected!
Removing the plugin and simply relying on the embeddable version using JS, which you can drop on any Text widget, will get you precisely the same effect as the widget — but have no performance cost whatsoever. When I did that and removed the About.me Widget plugin, page loading time dropped from 9.6 seconds to 6.7 — a vast improvement!
I’m shocked at how such a simple plugin like this can have that performance impact. So, be wary. If you have plenty of resources to spare, you might never have noticed any difference. If, like me, you’re running on a very tight environment, with little resources left, and every bit of performance counts, then get rid of the plugin and just use the embedded JS technique… the performance hit is simply not worth it.

Very good done ?? I have used only on the side bar, but all the variations are awesome… (I didn’t know that we can load a photography on the bio! in about.me XD )Fantastic idea, thanks for sharing ^^

Does what it says it will. I would give it 5/5 if it had more controls over icon size and optional text.

Works beautifully and clean. Beats the heck out of writing an About page on every site.
