You need to look at http://mu.wordpress.org for that sort of functionality 🙂
Is it possible to install a version of MU WP and use it with a db that was filled with data from regular WP?
In other words, I have been using regular WP for about a year now and would like to allow my fellow bloggers a page for visitors to see their posts only in a page of their own design. However, I’d still like to see their posts appear on a main blog page. Is this possible with MU WP? Hell, is it possible with regular WP? You’d think it should be.
I am using WPMU for a pet-themed blogging community. I do know that each “signup” creates a new blog with its own entries (it creates a phantom subdirectory structure). But I don’t think it’s possible to have a “group blog” which is what it seems that you want.
You might hop on over to http://mu.wordpress.org and pose your question there. If there’s a way to do it, I’m sure someone will point you to the way. BUT be aware, that forum is not quite as closely monitored and active as this one, so lagtime of several days between the time someone posts and the time someone else gets around to responding is not unusual. Patience is definitely a virture over there! Just warning ya!
However, if I have misunderstood what you are after and all you want is different users/authors to post on the SAME BLOG, then I believe you can just tell WordPress to sort by blog author to display that person’s blog entries.

Thanks for the advice, Joni! I’ll check out MU WP. You understand me correctly–essentially, I just want to have a page that will display a single author’s posts, but that page should be customizable so that it will look like said author’s blog and not just the main blog.
I’m still concerned about my existing db. I’ve got a lot of posts and moving them around makes me nervous…
