    Hi,

    unfortunately search did not reveal the solution to my question. The question is – is it possible to let multiple users post on the same blog (every persons posts will show on the front page), but then also be able to select only posts from particular users (f.e “user1”) by an address like “name.com/blog/user1”.

    edit:
    and also if the last one is possible, can it also select all blog users automatically to create a list or a menu with every users name and link to their blog?

    Thanks in advance,
    KK.

    The online manual, the Codex is a great place to find answers to your questions…

    Thanks Rudolf!
    Though I am a wordpress newb and can’t do anything with the information.

    Is it possible to reach my goal with the data from that link? If it is, then I’ll be learning all about wordpress this night. (it’s 1am. here) 🙂

    It is absolutely possible. And I always considered whoever wants to use more specific features than the average user… well, should sit down and learn.

    The link I gave you lists all the author related template tags that can be used in WP. Quote from the top of that page:

    Template tags are used within your blog’s Templates to display information dynamically or otherwise customize your blog, providing the tools to make it as individual and interesting as you are. Below is a list of the general user tags available in WordPress, sorted by function-specific category.

    And yes, those functions, like creating a link like example.com/blog/author/qwalda – work out of the box. Meaning you don’t even need to do anything.
    Also, just looking at the name of the last author tag in the list: wp_list_authors. Did you read it?

    Thanks big time!
    There’s much i need to read to come to a satisfying result, but i almost got it already!

    Better stack up on some caffeine, since it’s nearing morning already…

    edit:
    just a quick minor q – can it show the login boxes someplace in the sidebar?

    edit2: the user posts show up as “/author/user/”, but can they be just “/user/” ?
