   How can I change the author template to include another author (I have the user ID). I also need the RSS feed to include this author.

   I think I need to do something like this: query_posts('author='.$user->ID.',4')

   I've never modified a theme before. But I'm familiar with php. But I'm not sure where to put the code. Is there a hook to modify? I'm using the P2 theme (if that matters).

   Not sure about that theme but should point you to Template Hierarchy and Author Templates.

   Am I correct thinking that this might work?

   Before The Loop in authors.php:

   set_query_var('author', get_query_var('author').',4');

   Or do I need to use query_post() directly?

   $moreposts=get_posts('author=4);
   if ($moreposts) (
   //loop for author 4 posts
   }

   Thank you for your help!

   Is it possible to mix the results? The current author + author 4. At the same time?

   Not sure I know how to do that (mixing the results).
