This pvc_users_info provides the ability to create a profile for each author on your site. These includes assigning a job title, personal web site address (uri/url), nickname, slogan, bio, phone and fax numbers, start date and image for each user.

<txp:pvc_author_articles />
<txp:pvc_author_bio />
<txp:pvc_author_cell />
<txp:pvc_author_date />
