 Spent a little time the other day trying to figure out why the full name
 wasn't displaying in the sidebar when pasting in the default code.

 It turns out that all users on the site I tested only have a first name,
 never a last name.  Yet the php function '''wp_list_authors()''' (in
 author-template.php) expects '''both''' fields to be present to display
 the full name:
 {{{
 if ( $show_fullname && ($author->first_name != '' && $author->last_name !=
 '') )
         $name = "$author->first_name $author->last_name";
 }}}

 I think changing the above code to the following might make sense:
 {{{
 if ( $show_fullname && ($author->first_name != '' || $author->last_name !=
 '') )
         $name = trim("$author->first_name $author->last_name");
 }}}
 This way, the actual name will be displayed as long as there's either a
 first name or a last name defined.

 Thanks for the great work!
