WP vs. WPMU

Yes WP allows multiple authors, and is much better if you are all concentrating on a single blog. WPMU is more for multiple authors with separate blogs.

Hi Ajd777,

Thanks for replying. With WP, can you show all blog entries by a specific author on a web page? On my home page I’m going to list us all with the last 5 entries we each made. Do you know if thats possible?

And then when you’re reading say, John’s 1/20/2007 entry, you can see a list of his other recent entries?

Sorry if I am asking too many questions.

thanks

I don’t believe it can do it out of the box, but it shouldn’t be too hard with a plugin or two or some custom calls in the theme.

WPmu is not fit to china users…content control is too strict~!

WordPress does have built-in functionality to display all posts by a specific author. You can make that page look exactly like the main page if you want, except with the posts filtered.

Try adding the wp_list_authors() template tag to your sidebar, and see how that goes.

I should say explicityly, multi-user isn’t what you want, unless you wish to offer a blog hosting service.
