Think this one will get updated for 2.0?

That’s awesome if I decide to end up using the author list method. However, is there a way to do something similar if I use a custom field to add the author’s name to each article? The point being many articles have multiple authors.

If I were to use a custom field, is there anyway I could display that as part of the post? Also, I’m a PHP novice, so how difficult would it be to build a function that would allow the user to search by author name, or access a list of authors to choose from?

Unfortunately, Campsite requires Apache and a slew of other things that I don’t have. I am working with mysql 4.0, php, and a microsoft IIS server. I have wordpress up and running, but now I’m trying to figure out how to make it my bitch. I think WordPress is almost perfect for what I want to do. Easy to customize, easy to post, easy to teach others how to use it. Not to mention my editor loves the idea of being able to comment on articles. The real benefit that I can see is putting all of the articles from the past 20 years (which is two issues per year with about 10 articles per issue) or roughly 400 articles into a database that can be searched and updated easily. This author thing is my first trip-up. Any ideas?

Since I don’t speak the language that lodel.org is published in, and Google translate makes it sound like a two year old, I have no idea what it does. Now back to WordPress.

If I were to create the number of necessary users, would that require me to log in as each different user in order to publish the article they have written? Is there any way to edit the author of a published article?

Also, is it possible to have multiple authors for a single post? Perhaps a special field or a plug-in might be better?
