   Ok, I know the code to display authors with latest post and image on the sidebar as below. I now need to:

   1)- exclude admin,
   2)- display 5 authors (most recent 5 authors who published a post)

   <?php
   //get all users, iterate through users, query for one post for the user,
   //if there is a post then display the post title, author, content info
   $blogusers = get_users_of_blog();
   
   if ($blogusers) {
     foreach ($blogusers as $bloguser) {
       $args = array(
             'author' => $bloguser->user_id,
   	  'showposts' => 1,
   	  'caller_get_posts' => 1,
       );
   
       $my_query = new WP_Query($args);
       if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
         while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
   <div style="border-top:1px solid #bababa; margin:0">
   <?php echo get_avatar( get_the_author_email(), '80' ); ?>
   
   <h4 style="padding-top:10px;"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a><br /><small><?php the_author_posts_link(); ?> </small></h4>
   		<?php
           the_excerpt();
   		?>
           <p class="more-link"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>" style="color: rgb(157, 20, 20); font-weight: bold;"><?php _e('Read', 'news'); ?></a> | Comments (<?php comments_number('', '1', '%'); ?>)</p>
           </div>
    <?     endwhile;
       }
   
     }
   }
   
   ?>

   Try adding:
   $excl_authors = array('1', '5', '7', '8');
   after:
   $blogusers = get_users_of_blog();
   The array should hold a list of author/users ids that you want to exclude. Then just before div style="border-top:1px solid #bababa; margin:0">, add:
   <?php if( !in_array( $post->post_author, $excl_authors ) :?>
   Finally change <? endwhile; to <?php endif;endwhile;?> and see how that works out.

   Thanks esmi. I did as you said but got:

   Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ':'

   When you say this:

   <?php if( !in_array( $post->post_author, $excl_authors ) :?>

   Do you mean this:

   <?php if( !in_array( $post->post_author, $excl_authors ) ) :?>

   or this:

   <?php if( !in_array( $post->post_author, $excl_authors ) ) ;?>

   I tried all variations above but then got error with your final change "endif;endwhile".

   Also this code above does not limit to the most recent 5 posts. I want to limit to 5 recent posts, and 1 per/author on the sidebar.

   PS- I use 2.91 version of WP.

   Sorry...sorry.. It should have been:
   <?php if( !in_array( $post->post_author, $excl_authors ) ) :?>
