If you have account at more then 5-10 sites and wish to connect between them its a lot more then just pain to remember each site. After searching web for more then hours i came only one plugin which supported listing my profiles at the same place, but that too was limited in choice.
so finally i decided to create a plugin of my own, so her it is
Plugin currenty hosted at my site, will add it to wordpress plugin repository in a day or two as well as trying tomake it available at sourceforge.
Plugin is released under GPL Scheme.
INSTALLATION : its quite straight forward,
extract it in your wp-content/plugins folder and enable it in your admin panel,
to show your profiles just enable my-profiles widget,
setting’s are available in setting’s panel.
you just have to enter your nicknames in the list and your profile url along with site’s favicon will get placed in your widget.
Hope this help’s some one else like it is helping me.

that comment made my day sir,

hi, I am getting problem about it. As I have checked , it failed to get wp content url perfectly. Hope u will get help from this link http://planetozh.com/blog/2008/07/what-plugin-coders-must-know-about-wordpress-26/
No profile icons are showing because the image path is not right. I have check the html code and it’s showing image src path like this
src=”WP_CONTENT_URL/plugins/myprofiles/images/facebook.png”
Thanks

Sorry for so much comments but I am crazy about your widgets. I have make little changes in a file name myprofiles.php and added the code
// Pre-2.6 compatibility
if ( !defined(’WP_CONTENT_URL’) )
define( ‘WP_CONTENT_URL’, get_option(’siteurl’) . ‘/wp-content’);
if ( !defined(’WP_CONTENT_DIR’) )
define( ‘WP_CONTENT_DIR’, ABSPATH . ‘wp-content’ );
$myprofiles_path = WP_CONTENT_URL.’/plugins/’.plugin_basename(dirname(__FILE__)).’/';
Now it’s working like a charm. Thank you boss. Hope I will make a mod for phpbb3 based on your widgets.
Nice work man.

Oops, just realised you need your own server to install this plugin. Is it possible to have these work on the wordpress.com server? FN

Hi, I found your blog on this new directory of WordPress Blogs at blackhatbootcamp.com/listofwordpressblogs. I dont know how your blog came up, must have been a typo, i duno. Anyways, I just clicked it and here I am. Your blog looks good. Have a nice day. James.

A great idea. I have added profile information via html in a text widget but this will be great for those who want an easy way of adding it. Most people do not display this sort of profile information but, as I know I often want to find particular bloggers on social networking sites myself, I think it important.

thanks for the encouraging comment,
I am working on its next release but will take some time….. (BEEN HELL OF A BUSY THESE DAYS.)

Anant,
Thanks for creating the plugin/widget and of course giving me a link on your blog. I am working on a post for my blog called “Under the Hood” which will list all of the various plugins and services which I use. I will be sure to give you props.
I will come back and comment when I get finsihed. I started working on it last night and realized I use a lot of tools.
Thanks,
Brian
