  Is the Authors widget going to reappear in the widget list in the upgrade? It’s currently missing.

  I use(d) the Authors widget because my blog has multiple authors. The widget groups posts by author under their name and avatar. I consider it a necessity rather than a nice-to-have.

  I was also hooked on the Authors widget, in one of my private blogs that has lots of users. It was a huge part of one of my columns and now it’s just gone. Extremely disappointing is an understatement.

  This is a must. My blog is built around lots of different authors, with different attitudes. must fix.

  I’m sorry it is missing. We are looking into it.

  I absolutely agree with sixlings and rocksrocks — how is a blog with many different authors and contributors to survive without this feature? The use of multiple perspectives and of the multiple ideas by these authors is what drives our blog. A must fix indeed.

  The Authors widget should be available now.

  Yes – but the avatars are 96px big! Looks very silly. Please fix.

  btw, the avatars are WAY too big, it wraps the Authors name weird now as a result of it.

  Is there a way to have Authors appear alphabetically by name?
