[disclaimer: This plugin was for demo purposes and therefore makes a couple of assumptions. It assumes that you've filled out all the information in the author section for all your blog authors and that you have a gravatar associated with your email address. It won't hurt anything if you don't, but your author box will be missing information if it's not found.]
You can download the Post Author Box plugin here.
