Two authors working on same blog

Is it possible somehow that two (or more) authors work on the same blog. I'm not interested in the separation of UserA's blog and UserB's blog. I would just like to have two authors working on the same blog. Any idea? Thanks in advance, Tommy

By using taxonomy, or the views module you could allow them to keep writing their own blogs separately, but as far as the end users are concerned, its all being displayed at www.site.com/keepuptodate or something

It would also look the same

It would also look the same if everything is promoted to frontpage and you remove the "users blog"-link

maybe you can scrap the "blog" content-type altogether. create a custom content-type, then have a view list everything from that content-type. this also gets around the hiding of the "user a's blog" thing without theming hacks. guessing there may be a way to do this without views, somewhere.

since you are using a new content-type, you can also limit what roles can submit/edit. don't forget to add the new content-type to your vocabularies, if you wish them to be included.

the concept is a stream of articles, or co-authoring a column.

just a thought.

This is probably the best

This is probably the best way to do this :)

Thanks

tm, thanks for the good hint! I hadn't been working with views so far, just found out how great they are.
