Notes
Options: author (username, slug or ID — several separated by commas), show, excerpt, length. On an author archive page you can leave author off and it picks up whoever’s page it is.
An author who does not exist shows nothing rather than everyone’s posts, so a blank block usually means the username is wrong.
