  I have three people submitting entries to my blog http://twinesandvines.wordpress.com

  I am trying in vain to figure out how I can have them get credit for a post when they create one, and also how to get all posts by all authors to show up in one Twitter feed for the site.

  Any help is appreciated. I am only in HS, so this is new to me!

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

  Use an Author Widget: Dashboard >> Widgets >> drag the “Author” Widget to the sidebar and drop in in where you want – that will display the Authors for your blog and when a name is clicked on you should get some sort of list of Posts.

  Some themes give a by-line, but I don’t know what they are and I don’t have one, so my work-around is as follows.

  I set up categories per author as well as the widget auxclass refers to and have the categories on a custom menu, then put the author’s name at the foot of the post manually when it isn’t me.

  @teamoyeniyi – thanks for the catch – I forgot that not all Themes show the Author.

  This is a useful link as it lists which themes do and do not display authors names on posts.
  This is also a useful link as it provides all the features and a workaround for multiauthor blogs.
