Multiple Authors with MojoBlog

Or,"I would like to have a blog for each of my contributing authors." Is this possible?


Yes sort of..

MojoBlog supports what we call pseudoMU or, kinda multi-user blogging capabilities. It works on a structured category hierarchy and user/member permissions assigned by the mojoBlog administrator. I�ll outline the steps in creating a new author category and adding a registered member as author below:

THE SETUP part 1
The blog admin (you) selects the member�s account and �promotes� them to a membership level. See illustration #1 (top right)

THE SETUP part 2
The blog admin then �creates� the new "author" category (in this case, mojoBlog/zerolight) where mojoBlog is the main category and zerolight is the author�s category. See illustration #2.

It's suggested you create a main category say, "authors" or "contributors" and add your author categories as child categories under your chosen top category. This way you'll not get authors categories mixed in with other main categories and will be able to browse author archives individually.
