Deskripsyon
It allows the author to define links to the external websites like Twitter, Identi.ca, Facebook, Netlog, LinkedIn, Xing, Drupal Association, Vimeo, BranchOut, Youtube, Google+, Skype and WordPress.Org (included) when using Author Box Reloaded. At the front-end those will appear as clickable icons.
Those external websites are very simple plugins and you can check the included ones to see how to make your owns.
This was a needed move because it is more probable that we have more ABR3 External Contact plugins developed by third parties to be included than to have too much development on original Author Box Reloaded.

Pag-install
How to install the WordPress Author Box Reloaded Pack plugin and get it working in an handful of steps:
- BE SURE THAT Author Box Reloaded IS INSTALLED and active.
- Upload
/author-box-reloaded-pack/folder and its files to the/wp-content/plugins/directory or just use the WordPress admin interface to install it. - Activate only the plugins you will need through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress (after Author Box R3 is installed or you will get an error message). See image in Screenshots.
- Go to your Personal Profile and insert the user id for the social networks you want to have the link in Author Box Reloaded. For instance, if in Twitter your url is http://twitter.com/niceguy just use the “niceguy” part of it. It is the same procedure with the other social networks or external websites.
You should have at least your “Contact Info” Website and/or one of the Social Networks defined or, at least, a not so short “Biographical Info”, or the Author Box Reloaded CSS may be real messy.
If you use WordPress Mu and want to add this plugins to all blogs just install them in the mu-plugins directory instead or, in more modern versions, activate them globally.
