| 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  |

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 | |

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. | |

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

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. | |

I'm going to check it out right now, if I have to kill the old DB for sheley.org, that is fine.. but I'll try to at least merge the post over | |
