   Hello,
   I'm trying to code a page to display a author's bio and picture, and then I just need to display certain categories, for example categories 50, 51, 52, 53 with their full post, post category, and date posted. I've not had much luck. So far I have this:

   <?php
   /**
    * @package WordPress
    * @subpackage Default_Theme
    */
   /*
   Template Name: Name of Author Page
   */
   ?>
   
   <?php get_header(); ?>
   
   <div id="content">
   
   	<div id="contentleft">
   
   	<h1>Author Name</h1>
   			{WILL DISPLAY PICTURE AND QUICK BIO HERE}<br /><br />
   
   		<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   
   		<?php endwhile; else: ?>
   
   		<p><?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?></p><?php endif; ?>
   
   	</div>
   
   	<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH."/l_sidebar.php");?>
   
   	<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH."/r_sidebar.php");?>
   
   </div>
   
   <!-- The main column ends  -->
   
   <?php get_footer(); ?>

   TIA for any help!

   Instead of this:

   <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   <?php endwhile; else: ?>
   <p><?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?></p><?php endif; ?>

   Try this:
   

   <?php query_posts('cat=2,6,17,38'); ?>
   <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   
   <?php endwhile; ?>

   Replacing the numbers with your category IDs

   no content will show up on the page, and i've triple checked the code and category id's... any ideas?

   <?php
   /**
    * @package WordPress
    * @subpackage Default_Theme
    */
   /*
   Template Name: Name of Author Page
   */
   ?>
   
   <?php get_header(); ?>
   
   <div id="content">
   
   	<div id="contentleft">
   
   	<h1>Author Name</h1>
   			{WILL DISPLAY PICTURE AND QUICK BIO HERE}<br /><br />
   
   		<?php query_posts('cat=41'); ?>
   <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   
   <?php endwhile; ?>
   	</div>
   
   	<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH."/l_sidebar.php");?>
   
   	<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH."/r_sidebar.php");?>
   
   </div>
   
   <!-- The main column ends  -->
   
   <?php get_footer(); ?>
