 * I want certain posts to have multiple authors. Would this be possible.
 * It would be something like this
 * Post title
    By Author1, Author2, Author 3 Post body… blah blah
 * Is this possible in WP?
 * TIA.

 * erm…you’d need some sort of a strange plugin for that. not supported by default

 * As resiny said, that’s not something WordPress does but you could consider these
   possibilites:
 * 1. Make a Category for each Author
    2. Use Custom fields, one for each Author
   3. Change the name of a User to include the 3 author names. (that’s and ugly 
   choice 😉

 * Resiny, yeah. One would need a ‘strange’plugin indeed. 😉
 * Michael, agreed. Creating categories come its own set of possible problems in
   the future. But it seems a good idea to me. One can browse by authors, and one
   can exclude the categories from the catlists too. Seems better then choice 2.
   This third possibility is downright ugly, I agree. 🙂
