What is WordPress?

  • Unknown's avatar

    I understand that WordPress is a blog site. But I have a friend that wants to use it as a framework for a photo upload voting site. Can this be done with this software? He would like users to be able to register and then upload a picture to be voted on. Kind of like, I hate to even type this, HotOrNot but not at all for those purposes. From what I can see this is blogging and if people register they will just create a new blog of their own.

    I guess the question is, can you register a user within your blog for access to your blog and allow them to upload pictures to be voted on?

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

    You can add other users as authors on wordpress.com blogs, but there is a limit (I think it’s 35). It’s not a free-for-all. I don’t know if you could achieve what you want using wordpress.org. You’d have to ask in their forum (http://wordpress.org/support).

    You could certainly do it somewhere like Live Journal.

    Thanks Ros,

    So you wouldn’t recommend wordpress for this purpose then?

    I wouldn’t recommend wordpress.COM. I can’t speak for wordpress.ORG.
