   Hi,

   I am trying to display a list of 10 random Authors (no other role) on my site but I can't do so. Here's the code that I am using:

   function contributors() {
   global $wpdb;
   
   $authors = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT ID, user_nicename from $wpdb->users ORDER BY display_name");
   
   foreach($authors as $author) {
   echo "<li>";
   echo "<a href=\"".get_bloginfo('url')."/?author=";
   echo $author->ID;
   echo "\">";
   echo get_avatar($author->ID);
   echo "</a>";
   echo '<div>';
   echo "<a href=\"".get_bloginfo('url')."/?author=";
   echo $author->ID;
   echo "\">";
   the_author_meta('display_name', $author->ID);
   echo "</a>";
   echo "</div>";
   echo "</li>";
   }
   }

   This code displays all the users but I want to limit them to 10 and also I want to show just the authors.

   Thanks in advance
