In Team Blogs which have many authors it may be necessary to show all the posts written by one author. This makes it easier for viewers who otherwise have to scan the whole blog looking for posts by one author.
There is no method for this except by using the Blogger Labels feature. Every author should add his name as a Label in the bottom frame of the Post Editor before publishing the post. The administrator should add the Labels widget or Page Element in the sidebar. Then the author name will appear as a Label in the label widget in the sidebar.
This method can only be done in the Layout template. To add a Label widget in the sidebar login at Blogger.com and click on Layout link on Dashboard. Click on 'Add Page Element link'. Then in popup window choose the Labels widget and save.
The author names will be mixed up with the other label names in the Label widget in the sidebar. This cannot be avoided. However, you can add another Html widget in the sidebar to list author names. Login at Blogger.com and click on Layout link on Dashboard. Click on 'Add Page Element' link and choose the Html/Javascript option in the popup window.
In Title field add 'Posts by Authors:' without the quotes. In the contents field add this code :
<ul>
<li><a href="http://BLOG_NAME.blogspot.com/search/label/AUTHOR1_NAME">AUTHOR 1 NAME</a></li>
<li><a href="http://BLOG_NAME.blogspot.com/search/label/AUTHOR2_NAME">AUTHOR 2 NAME</a></li>
<li><a href="http://BLOG_NAME.blogspot.com/search/label/AUTHOR3_NAME">AUTHOR 3 NAME</a></li>
</ul>
Replace the CAPS with appropriate data and if need be add more authors. Save Page element.

This is a good tip! My boyfriend and I keep a blog together (Yellow Loves Purple) and it's nice to show off posts that we've each written. We use the tags "by Tressa" and "by Cody." Thanks!
