Hi all,
I have a multi-author blog, The Israel Situation, that I want to jazz up a bit. My author page is a bit dull and I have to update everything myself. I am looking to add a contributor page more like the one here at Wise Bread.
Any ideas on how to do that? I want author profile to link to that page so the authors can update their profile whenever they like and have the details flow through without any updates.
Thanks,
Eric
http://www.israelsituation.com/authors/Here's an excellent article on how to code a custom page template for this purpose. http://bavotasan.com/2009/how-to-display-an-author-list-with-avatars-in-wordpress/
And here's the code which you might need to refer to from the WordPress Codex. http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_list_authors
Let me know if you need any help.
Another option would be to create custom widgets and try using one of these plugins:

http://guff.szub.net/2005/01/31/get-author-profile/
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/co-authors/
Would I create a new author.php file in the child theme (news theme), or in the Genesis theme folder? Then do I just copy the PHP code here into that file?
That code has been updated to this http://bavotasan.com/2011/an-even-better-author-list-in-wordpress/
There's more to it than that so i'll need to get it working.
Kovshenin has also created one which would well coded http://kovshenin.com/2010/wordpress-snippet-list-authors-contributors/
