i think it should be:

Article (author info on the right)
Author Bio
Article Rating
Reader Comments (Article)
Other Articles by this Author

the reason for putting the other articles by this author bit at the bottom
is that we don't want to lead the reader away from the page until they've
had an opportunity to at least scroll past the article rating and comments
sections.

i'm still not happy with it though as the top 5 articles for most authors is
those articles with a rating of 5 and 1 or 2 total ratings.  maybe this will
get those articles that need to have the rating averaged out taken care of.

thanks,
