roxyebpc on "multiple post pages, multiple bloggers, one front page with all"

I'd like to set up our blog so that each of my authors has her own post page. So when Author A posts it goes to Author A's post page. I would then like the front page to contain all of my authors posts in reverse chronological order so if A posted but then B posted later on that day B's post would be above A's. It would be great if the front page only had small clips of each post like "read more", but I'd be happy with the whole thing as well.
Basically I'd like each of the author pages to feed the main page and the main page just take what it's given in the reverse order that it's received (most recent on top).
Right now we're using the Freshy theme, but could change this if need be.
