  Is there any way that I can add a live blog to my WordPress.com blog?

  Thanks for the help in advance,
  Tom

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

  The “live blogging” I have seen on sites using WordPress software, they just seemed to set up a Post then add stuff to it and hit “Update” with a note on the Post about the time of the update, or they just did a pile of new Posts.

  The P2 Theme however is designed for a somewhat interactive and on the go blogging, you might take a look at that. You cold set up a test blog ( technoteamblogtest.wordpress.com. for instance so you don’t burn a good address) and set it to keep search engines out and just flail away with some random test posts and such

  Also for the next person that helps, what is your definition of “live blog”?

  Thanks for your help!

  By “live blog” I mean a stream of text updates that can be used during a special event or something like that.

  Thanks again,
  Tom

  I think you can put Twitter feeds in the sidebar

  Do you mean like a reader board that goes across the bottom?

  Take a look at P2 – you can add new Posts from the front page of the blog and don’t need to go to the regular Post editor to make a new Post.
