  I want to start a new fiction blog that will have multiple contributors (not a problem), but it will need to have a continuous story thread, reading from the top of the home page, to be added to as it’s written, is this possible?

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

  Hi,

  See the Write a Book support page. However, to display posts in chronological order you’ll have to alter the publish dates as described in the “Alter the Publish Date” section of the Show Your Posts in Chronological Order support page. The other methods suggested in the latter support page don’t affect the order of the posts on the posts page.

  You could also use Display Posts Shortcode in a static front page in order to display links to the chapters, listed in the order you choose (by date, by title, ascending, descending), including excerpts (if desired) and perhaps other details which can be added by customizing the shortcode.

  Just to clarify: You want the book to begin from chapter one page 1 at the top of the first page and descend from there, right?
