This plugin allows you to display an unordered list of links to a specific author's latest posts. It can be called either from a shortcode or from within a theme file.

To call it with a shortcode, use [latestbyauthor author="username" show="3"] where "username" is the login name of the author and "3" is the number of posts to display. If you don't specify an author or a display number, it will show the latest 5 posts from the admin account.

To call it from within a theme however, you have to wrap it in this PHP function: <?php echo do_shortcode('[latestbyauthor]'); ?>
