I’ve been searching around for a while and either I’m stupid, probably, or am not searching for the right keywords, definitely, but I need to display a list of posts from one author…

I’ve displayed a list of the last 5 posts
```
<?php
         $my_query = new WP_Query('showposts=5');

         while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
         $do_not_duplicate = $post->ID;
        ?>
```
is there some what to pull out the last 5 (or whatever) posts from a specific author?

Any help would be greatly appreciated…

Thanks,
Ted

<?php
$args=array(
  'author' => 3,
  'post_type' => 'post',
  'post_status' => 'publish',
  'posts_per_page' => 5,
  'caller_get_posts'=> 1
);
$my_query = null;
$my_query = new WP_Query($args);
if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
  echo 'List of 5 Posts for author id 3';
  while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
    <p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
    <?php
  endwhile;
}
wp_reset_query();  // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
?>

query_posts()
How do I determine a Post, Page, Category, Tag, Link, Link Category, or User ID?
