Acknowledging multiple authors for a single post

    We have a group blog with multiple authors (rampageproductions.net / rampageproductions.wordpress.com) and are attempting to determine whether it is possible to acknowledge multiple authors who have collaborated on a single post. Currently, author bylines do display on our blog, but we are only able to get one name to display for each post. On occasion, certain posts are authored collaboratively, and we would like to be able to add the bylines for each author who contributed to those posts.

    Solutions I have read thus far have suggested manually entering the authors’ names within the post itself, but we would like readers to be able to find content by author via the author widget in our sidebar. Thus, the ideal would be the ability to acknowledge the collaborating authors via the byline inserted by WordPress. Thanks in advance for any input!

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    I’m sorry but that fetaure doesn’t exist at this point in time. The mnual method you are currentl;y using is all that’s available to us. I’ll flag this thread so it’s moved to the Idease Forum for making suggestions to Staff re: new features, functions and improvements.
