 * Hi, I’m trying to hide posts that are of a certain author. I have tried some 
   methods like !is_author(‘name’) and the_author_posts_link() != ‘Name’. I have
   placed it in the while (have_posts()) section, but am still having problems with
   it. Could someone show me the correct way to do it please? Thanks

 * I have used query_posts() to get this working. I am just stuck with one problem
   that I’m wondering about. If it’s possible for the query_posts() to only start
   applying after the loop has gone through the posts once? I have a latest post
   that has to show, and then after that any posts by a specific author. Hopes this
   makes sense.
