Is it possible to assign taxonomy terms based on user name or id? I've searched for an answer using Drupal & Google and can't seem to find a module or method that discusses this. Or, is there a better way to do this:

I have a custom content type called 'blog' and depending on who (username or id) creates a blog post, I want to assign multiple taxonomy terms so their blog post will appear in multiple sections of the website. For example, I want the user Joe Blogger's nodes to appear in the "blog" section, the "Joe Blogger" section, and the "Sports" section because his blog is about sports. I would need to assign that node these taxonomy terms because I have views (or sections) setup to display only nodes associated with each term.

Thanks for any advice on this,
Scott

Some of the modules listed here should prove relevant.

That was a great search and I found several modules that came close, but none that will assign taxonomy terms to nodes based on author's username or uid.

Anyone have any suggestions? Anyone available to write some code or module to do this? I'm happy to pitch in some cash for this.

Thanks again,
Scott

Scott,

I guess you on the wrong way. If you want to have blog posts grouped by author you don't have to use taxonomy for that. Just use views.
