   I've been using the mini-loop to pull a sort of rss feed into my static home page. However, my blog has multiple authors and I'd like to integrate that into the mini-loop while maintaining the formatting in the current list. Here's the code I've been using:
   

   <?php
   $how_many=3; //How many posts do you want to show
   require_once("blog/wp-config.php"); // Change this for your path to wp-config.php file ?>
   <ul><?
   $news=$wpdb->get_results("SELECT <code>ID</code>,<code>post_title</code>,<code>post_date</code>,<code>post_author</code> FROM $wpdb->posts
   WHERE <code>post_type</code>=\"post\" AND <code>post_status</code>= \"publish\" ORDER BY ID DESC LIMIT ".$how_many);
   foreach($news as $np){
     echo '
       <li><a href="'.get_permalink($np->ID).'">'.$np->post_title.'</a>
       <br><em>'.date('l, F jS Y', strtotime($np->post_date)).'</em></li>';
   } ?></ul>

   Is there any way I can add the author name while maintaining the formatting style I have now?

   Nevermind, I just used a different set of code:

   <?php $posts = get_posts( "numberposts=3" ); ?>
   <?php if( $posts ) : ?>
   <ul>
   <?php foreach( $posts as $post ) : setup_postdata( $post ); ?>
   <li>
   <a href=<?php the_permalink() ?>>
   <?php the_title(); ?>
   </a><br><em>by <?php the_author(); ?> on <?php the_time('F j, Y');?></em>
   </li>
   <?php endforeach; ?>
   </ul>
   <?php endif; ?>

   Thanks.
