not sure if this is possible - i have a "Author" custom field in news. each article lists the authors at the top. i want to make the name a link to a page where articles authored by that person will show up.

possible?

In the T&T is a post on a UDT Prev / Next, I think there is a post regarding this UDT as well. This UDT 'collects' articles within a category. Maybe you can use this as a start for your request.

In the page where you link from make so that the link goes to a specific page and pas the authors name as a variable i.e. authors/?joe-bloggs

On the authors page call a news summary template to which you pass the authors name and show only those articles based upon a conditional loop of the custom field.
