   i have seen a few wordpress blogs and noticed that when you click on a author's link on some blogs, the author's archives show up as headlines instead of being in blog form... how do i do that?

   there were about 50 linked headlines with the "previous post" link at the bottom. is that some sort of plugin or is there a way to do it?

   The Author Templates, Sample Template File does that.

   this is working well, thanks. this only shows like 12 posts, i want to show like 50 or 100 on one page with a next and previous link on the bottom. i dont know much about coding but this is what is on the page.

   <!-- The Loop -->
   
       <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
           <li>
               <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link: <?php the_title(); ?>">
               <?php the_title(); ?></a>,
               <?php the_time('d M Y'); ?> in <?php the_category('&');?>
           </li>
   
       <?php endwhile; else: ?>
           <p><?php _e('No posts by this author.'); ?></p>
   
       <?php endif; ?>
   
   <!-- End Loop -->

   Before your loop there
   

   <?php
   $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
   query_posts($query_string .'&showposts=50&paged='.$paged);
   ?>

   Look at the WordPress Default theme's index.php for examples of the previous/next_posts_link code.
