  Not really. You should look at getting a message board or doing your own hosting. WordPress.com isn’t really designed for what you are trying to do. Check out http://www.mostvaluablenetwork.com for an example of what you are trying to accomplish.

  Actually Talkingbase is incorrect. You can have multiple users on your blog. This is covered in the FAQ under the question “Can a single blog have multiple authors and editors?”

  MVN is probably running their own theme that you would have to write yourself.

  Hope this helps,

  You didn’t answer his question either, drmike.

  I didn’t tell him he couldn’t have multipe users. Please don’t be so condescending to everyone. And it’s talkingbaseball, like the name of my blog. Not hard to figure out.

  <b>nbaeverday</b>: What you should do is add users (as I’ve done on my blog) and then have THEM create the pages you want them to work on. I’m not 100 percent certain this would work but if you do it that way, they should be able to edit just their pages. But it won’t look pretty.

  MVN is hosting WordPress and has designed their own template for the MVN sites. You would have to invest some money into hosting if you want to emulate them.

  @talkingbaseball: your username appears as talkingbase in the sidebar, so yeah, unfortunately a lot of people are going to think your username is talkingbase. I suggest you email Matt and ask him to make the sidebar wide enough to accommodate you.

  Hmmm. Good point, wank. I didn’t realize that. Thanks.
