Parameters

Do not use all these parameters for any one person. The list is long to cover a wide range of people. Only use those parameters that convey essential or notable information about the subject. Any parameters left blank or omitted will not be displayed. If a data field has more than one parameter name which can be used, the preferred name is listed first in bold print.

Parameter Explanation

image Image name: abc.jpg, xpz.png, 123.gif, etc.
image_size

Size to display image: 200px (set width), or 200x300px (max width & max height). This defaults to 225px if empty or omitted.
