  I’ve been asked to give a workshop that has a group blog portion. How would I set up a blog with multiple authors that wouldn’t be attached to my own personal dashboard. Is this even possible?

  Basically, just register a new blog from the My Blogs page on your global Dashboard and add users following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/adding-users/

  It’s easiest if they already have WP.com user ID’s, so you can just invite them by username, but as long as you have their email you can invite them anyway. Then they just register for a username rather than username and blog, and when they sign in they are already listed as authors on your group blog.
