Hi all.
I will shortly be migrating my website to Wordpress to help move it forward. Most articles are published under my name, but articles such as features and reviews need to be published under the writers name. With my current CMS I can do that easily, but how is it done with Wordpress?
you can make folks
"contributors" or "authors"

it would be just me using word press to publish the articles, but it would need to say their name as the author. Does this mean I would need to create an account for each writer and sign in as them when publishing an article they wrote?
You would at least need to create those 'authors' as users. If you do that, then when you write a post you can assign any of the users as the author of the post.

Why not simply type a new line at the bottom of each of your posts that says "Article written by So and So from Such and Such." you could even style that with a link/email addy.
I'd 2nd that approach lilqhgal, but if you use the built-in post author ability, then when you use something like wp_list_authors() in a sidebar, or the_author_posts_link in an index.php, WordPress will natively present an 'author archive' when visitors click on an author's name/link.
You must log in to post.
