Firstly - awesome theme design and coding. I'm currently testing NewsCast at http://test.totallysynthetic.com/ , with a plan to use it as the theme for my main website, http://www.totallysynthetic.com/blog .
I've modified functions.php and single.php to create a new taxonomy called "author" (by "author", I mean the writer of a scientific paper, not the blog post author...). However, I now want to view a list of posts by taxonomy classification, and I'm a bit lost. I've been following instructions on http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/wordpress/introducing-wordpress-3-custom-taxonomies/ , but these instructions are tailored to the TwentyTen theme...
Create a new thread and tell me what problems you are encountering and what you want to know. 
There is no step 3 :)
