WordPress - multiple author blog

Hi,

I am helping someone with a WordPress blog. She wants to allow for multiple authors, who can write original entries under their own log in name. Does anyone know if this can be done in WordPress? 

Thanks!

Sasha

Yes, WordPress allows for multiple users and you can display the author's name along with their article/post. Each author can have their own biog and contact details, and you can search for articles by a particular author. Some useful links:

Or you can install WordPress MU (the multi user version) which goes further and allows you to run a community of bloggers so that each one can run their own blog and choose their own theme. But that's probably not what she needs in this case.

Thanks, Jason. That does the trick. Appreciate your help.

Best wishes,

Sasha
