   I am creating an author.php template

   I would like to run a query based on the author_name but I don't want to hard code the author_name

   how to I modify this so it grabs the variable from the query string?
   query_posts('author_name=Harriet');

   Thanks

   how to I modify the query so it grabs the variable from the url?

   http://mysite.com/wp/author/bob = query_posts('author_name=bob');

   http://mysite.com/wp/author/sam = query_posts('author_name=sam');
