Help creating an author's listing page

    I have a multi author wordpress blog and would like to make a separate page in the blog that lists all of the authors usernames, real names, and email addresses. I don't know php at all and have no clue how to do this. Can tell me how to do this step by step. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    create a page called athours and just add this code

    <?php list_authors(); ?>
    Code (markup):
    it will show all the blog's authors

    and for more tweaking go here

    http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/list_authors
    Code (markup):
    and if you want to add a dedicated author page for every author listing all their posts with gravartar , i can also help you with that too

    It did not work. I am assuming I need to click the html tab and enter it there. I did this and nothing shows up.

    Is there a way to make it display the full names by using the parameters outlined on the wp site?
