== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= What if my site is missing =

In case you find that your favorite site is missing 

Option 1

add a comment in http://blog.anantshri.info/projects/my-profiles/

Option 2
for those who dare to play with the code.

all you need is
* your profile URL
* img in 16 x 16 pixel format.

to add one more site in the list just check `myprofiles_global.php` it contains an array list with all sites index one by one,

Just at the end add your site details

Example
`
	"website_name" => Array(
	    "name" => 'myprofiles_website_name',
		"favicon" => 'images/website_name.png',
		"url" => 'profile_url',
	)
`

Just Replace website_name with your website name <br /> 
place 16 x 16 pixel large image of website "preferably FAVICON" in `plugins/myprofiles/img` folder.<br /> 
Just replace profile_url with your personal url but change your nickname / profile_number to `NAME`<br /> 
and voila your new profile is in the admin interface just add your nick and you are good to go<br /> 
<br /> 
example for profile_url => `http://www.twitter.com/anantshri` will be converted to `http://www.twitter.com/NAME`

= how to use this plugin without widget =

With version 0.6 you can eassily use this plugin even without using widget interface.

in order to use this you just have to call `<?php show_myprofiles(); ?>` anywhere inside the body or footer.
But you have to keep in mind that this function will give you a list of all your profile's with images 
but styling is not inclided in it. that is to be taken care by the theme editor only.
(in case some one need's help i am always ready to help)
