• I am new and I have not installed WP yet but I have a situation that I am wondering if WP can handle. I have tried to search the forums but have not found an answer to my question.

    Can you set up wordpress to allow multiple bloggers upload blogs to the same site on their own pages? I am trying to find a way to allow multiple show hosts to upload their blogs easily to the station’s site. Each host will have their own blog page on the site. Will WP allow for this type of setup? If so, how will it work from the show host’s end?

  • Yes. That’s the short answer.. I did a very similar thing for my breakitdownradio dot com site.. you can do it with WP and add each radio host as another user – give them editor role in user roles as admin (or something like that).
    You can modify your theme of choice to display a list of “posts” for each host – like a category view – you might want to look at creating a custom “page template” that pulls all the posts from jockeyA – and title that page jockeyA – and have it show for navigation somewhere..
    There are many options right now – and more to come.

    Another way to do what you are talking about is to use wordpressMU – but I would hold off on that – as I believe we are a couple months away from having WP merge with MU and then there will be even more options for doing what you are talking about, I assume with different themes for each “other users” blog.

    WP is a good choice for what you want to do, especially with the podpress and other podcasting plugins – I would set it up, add a couple users, get them to add a couple posts each, and then start to look at how you want your theme to look and navigate – some quick theme mods will allow all your jocks to simply log in and post – everything else will be automatic with WP and a well modded theme.

    Ps – please mark this as resolved if this answers your current question.

    DJ-
    Thank you for your response. With some more research of how WP works, I think WP will do what I need it to do. Just a few more questions…

    1. Can you have wordpress post to the site to keep it looking like this?

    2. You said: “you might want to look at creating a custom “page template” that pulls all the posts from jockeyA – and title that page jockeyA – and have it show for navigation somewhere.” What does this mean exactly and how does it work? (where would I find this info)

    3. Shane G. is pointing me to WPMU… why do you say wait on it and is it up and running?

    Thank you Shane G. for your response also.
