Are you trying to setup something like blogger.com for individual authors? Serendipia.net and supersized.org does this. The keyword to this is "Shared Install". Look it up in the docs of www.s9y.org.

However what you're trying to do seems to be very special. If it's all about only accessing the authors categories like that, you need to use mod_rewrite and learn to rewrite the rules to the other syntax. Or you can write up a PHP plugin, but for that you'll also require PHP skills.

Uhm, no. What you want to do seems to be the shared install then.

Read the docs please, and see if it's too complicated for you. :)
