Once you have properly created your desired author instances (each attached to a specific user) in the backend, you can create different types of Author List menu items:

1. A list of your authors

2. An article list or blog layout from a specific author with or without a "Select Author" drop down

3. A general article list or blog from all your authors with the same optional author filter possibility

Additionally, if you install and enable our Author List Plugin (plgauthorlistcontent) it will link your authors' names to their com_authorlist pages whenever they show in your blog or article view. You can download this plugin from our Homepage: http://munditico.com/joomla-extensions/
