How to List Blogs By Author?

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

Currently, blog entries on the front page are listed sequentially; that is Blog Author 1, Post 1, Blog Author 1, Post 2. How do I list (maybe through a view?) Blog Author 1, Post 1, Post 2? An example of what I'm aiming for is at the TNR.com. Blog posts are collated, so that Jonathan Chait has his blog posts listed together.

You can set the order to what you want.

Juts set order by "Author" and you should be fine

I'm still not able to display

I'm still not able to display all blog posts by author. I created a view using the following:

filtered it by node type=blog,
sorted it by Content: author(s) - delta asc
display fields Content: authors(s) Title (link)

The result, however, is still

Editor's Desk
We're Back
Editor's Desk
Classifieds Open

I'm aiming for this:

Editor's Desk
We're Back
Classifieds Open

What am I missing?

Group by author, or use author as an argument

If you set your view to group by author (an option on table-based views) it will show the most recent posts grouped by author.

If you want to show the three most recent posts by author, set up views with an argument for the node author.

hth.

Partial success. I changed

Partial success. I changed the view's style to "table" in the basic settings, telling it to group based on author(s) (field_op_author). In the view's Block tab, I have fields set to Node: title and Content: Author(s) Title. The "Default" tab has fields: Content: Author(s) Title (link). This results in the below:

Editor's Desk
Classified Section Opens Editor's Desk

What I want is this:

Editor's Desk
Classified Section Opens

I've fiddled with removing one of the fields, but that keeps removing the "Editor's Desk" at the top of the table. What fields should I use?

Thanks,

Ed
