This plugin allows you to display an unordered list of links to a specific author’s latest posts (or a list of multiple authors). It can be called either with a shortcode or from within a theme file.
To call it with a shortcode, use <code>[latestbyauthor author="username" show="3"]</code> where “username” is the login name of the author (or a comma separated list of multiple authors) and “3” is the number of posts to display. If you don’t specify an author or a display number, it will show the latest 5 posts from the author of the current page. If you want it to display the post excerpt as well, you can use the following code: <code>[latestbyauthor author="username" show="3" excerpt="true"]</code> This will only show exerpts that you have entered manually.
To call it from within a theme template, you have to wrap it in this PHP function: <code><?php echo do_shortcode('[latestbyauthor author="username" show="3"]'); ?></code>

GT Post Approval adds “Approve/Reject” buttons visible just for administrators and editors in the Menage > Posts page. 
Not approved posts are visible just in the author’s archives and in the search results.
When you install this plugin any old posts will be approved and any new post will have to be approved.
This plugin is been made for the SEO contestants of GT <a href="http://www.gt-globalwarming-awareness2007.org/" rel="nofollow ugc">GlobalWarming Awareness2007</a> 
and also for this reason the plugin has “static” features.
To make it more flexible I’ve developed the version 0.3. It’s a beta but it seems working fine. So in the version 0.3 
the admin can go to Options > Approval to choose where display not approved posts and to define an user level to auto approve posts.
