I am using Drupal to create a blog. The blog will have several categories represented by a singular, required, flat, controlled vocabulary. I would like visitors to be able to view blog posts (entire posts, not just teasers) based on category, similar to the way that taxonomy url queries work (with + and , support). Taxonomy does almost everything I need, but I would like to see entire posts rather than teasers and I would like to ensure that there are never more than 10 posts displayed, no matter how many categories have been selected.

What settings and/or modules will I need to accomplish this? I've looked at Views a bit... will that work?

Thanks very much,
Stephen

You can create a view that will show the full posts up to N per page with a filter for both the nodetype (Blog of course) and an exposed filter for the taxonomy used. I just set up my first multi-user, multi-blog application for my company (okay I'm still tweaking it a bit :) with a View (search for blogs) page that allows people to put in a multiple terms of a company dept hierarchy AND someone's name.

I've tried Wordpress-Multi, the other wordpress multiuser whose project name escapes me, Blojsom and this. This was faster, easier and much more powerful (of course, if you are using Wordpress for a single user blog - it's much simpler - but also not very flexible). We are using this for a CMS, a news database of content with multiple RSS feeds off of it based on taxonomy filters, this Blog website and I've set up a prototype for a company Internal News system to allow posting and semi-moderated content with two taxonomies for geographic distribution limitations and company news category limits for customized RSS feeds. Given that I'm just a simple manager, this thing ROCKS! :)
