Trying to create an attractive Author list

    Trying to create a nicer Author list for compliance with Google news requirements.

    The standard wp_list_authors is okay for sidebras but way to basic for page display.

    Have created this which is half working but cannot include descriptions etc.

    Would anyone care to take a look at the code annd help?

    Problems seem to be revolving around use of get_the_author_meta as this does display but only the list of authors and avatars, not the description

    <?php
$authors = wp_list_authors('optioncount=1&exclude_admin=0&echo=0');
$authors = explode('<li>', $authors);
foreach ($authors as $names) {
$names = str_replace('</li>',"",$names);
$idBeg = strpos($names,'author=');
$post = substr($names, $idBeg);
$idEnd = strpos($post, '"');
$id = substr($post, 0, $idEnd);
$id = str_replace('author=',"",$id);
if($id) {
echo '<li>';
echo '<div class="avaright">';
echo get_avatar($id);
echo '</div>';
echo get_the_author_meta('description',$id);
echo '<div class="authname">';
echo $names;
echo '</div>';
echo '</li>';
}
}
?>

    hope not out of date, but found and offer you other solution ->

    $blogusers = get_users_of_blog();
if ($blogusers) {
   foreach ($blogusers as $bloguser) {
       $user = get_userdata($bloguser->user_id);
       echo "<pre>";
       print_r($user);  // show all user information you can use
       echo "</pre>";

       // sample of use
       echo $user->ID;
       echo $user->display_name;
   }
}
