  For our school newspaper, I wanted to add a feature where the students could click on their name here: http://midwoodargus.org/period-3/ then it would lead to a separate tab that show all the articles they had published. We already posted their articles for the beginning of the school year and their names are on each posts, so is there a way to have a link to articles with their names?

  I know we could have made categories with all the students names and did it then, but there are over a 100 students and we can’t do this every year the students change.

  So is there another way?

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

  You could do this with Tags.

  First, you’d create a tag for each student:

  https://midwoodargus.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit-tags.php?taxonomy=post_tag

  Then, add each student’s tag to their content:

  Organize Posts with Tags

  https://midwoodargus.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php

  Finally, link to each student’s tag page on your Period 3 Page:

  Links

  Let us know if you have any more questions :-)

  If a student has more than one piece of content, you can simply add their tag to additional pieces of their work.

  On that student’s tag page, all of their work will show up.

  If I’ve misunderstood the issue, or if you have any other questions, please let me know.
