    Is it possible to have co-authored posts? Our posts are actually written together, and we’d like to reflect that on our blog.

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

    Hi Jessamyn,

    Publishing posts as co-authored isn’t available on WordPress.com.

    The best workaround I can suggest would be to create a “neutral” user on your blog for posts that are co-authored and then to give both of your actual usernames credit by adding a byline of sorts to the body of your post. Then any posts that are not co-authored you can post individually and not have any reader misconstrue them as co-authored.

    If you’re interested in self-hosted sites at all, it does appear there WordPress.org plugins that allow multiple authors listed for pages and posts:

    Best,
