using sub-domains in wordpress as the authors


Does anyone know of a hack or mod that I can use with wordpress that will put author1.site.com and author2.site.com as the wordpress authors.

I guess I'll just setup two seperate wordpress blogs if I need to, but thought I would ask if anyone knows another way around this.

Oh, then on the site.com domain, I'd like the newest blog post from each author to show, maybe in 2 columns. I think I can get that working pretty easily if needed.

thanks

Re: using sub-domains in wordpress as the authors


Had a good search around for you Brandon and I found a few things. I guess you're looking for something along the same lines as what blogger.com does.

First one was a plugin that sets up your individual categories as subdomains but don't think that what you want, but thought you might be interested in it.

Subster Rejunevation

I also found Wordpress MU (Multiply) and think it might do what you want but not sure.

WordPress MU › Home

Good luck

This could be possible with some kind of advanced mod_rewrite magic, but I really don't know

Re: using sub-domains in wordpress as the authors


I haven't found a good WPMU bridge to vB so if you used WPMU the vB members would have a independent sign in for it......unfortunately..

i actually looked to pay someone to modify the exist WP to VB bridge, but no dice.

Re: using sub-domains in wordpress as the authors


WPMU is for you, you can choose either sub folders or domains, scalable and easy to use...

well I can install 2 instances of wordpress to get 2 sub domains, is that what you say wpmu can do? or will it run one copy of the script, and we can have 2 url's like I'm looking for.

thanks

Re: using sub-domains in wordpress as the authors


1 copy of the script, almost infinite sub domains, all controlled by the main WP admin login. each user has their own mini admin panel, it's neat, check it out.
