Author meta data

    Does anyone know how to override the default usermeta data that is used when displaying a public side of a blog.

    For example so I can have the default admin then a second administration account, but the second account is used when a PHP call like <?php the_author_firstname(); ?> is triggered. So instead of the blog looking for all it’s information in the ID 1 account it looks in ID 2 by default.

    Does this make any sense?

    There will be a main user of the blog, but also an invisible super admin.

    <?php
if(isset($_GET['author_name'])) :
$curauth = get_userdatabylogin($author_name);
else :
$curauth = get_userdata(intval($author));
endif;
?>

    Does anyone know how to manually set the author using the above code?

    OK there’s this for getting something like an email address and so on.

    <?php $curauth = get_userdata(intval(2));
echo $curauth->user_email;
?>

    Doe anyone know how to call yim and aim from the profile?
