Feature Request: Group Blogs
Martin Fenner
Saturday, 15 March 2008 07:50 UTC
Blog posts on Nature Network are currently only possible from a single user. While that is the typical use of a blog, group blogs with several (say 2-5) authors can sometimes be useful. This could be the group blog from a lab, a blog about a specific topic, or even the Friday Afternoon Scientific Nonsense Brought to You by Your Fellow Nature Network Bloggers (FASNBTYBYFNNB) blog.

Couldn’t one use a forum or a group to achieve the same end? Or get close, anyway.

I think that’s a great idea, Martin. Bob – yes, I think you could use forums for that, but wouldn’t the thread would be much more cumbersome to follow?

That’s funny you posted on this now. I emailed Corie about this a few days ago because I was thinking about how it would be nice to have another contributor to my blog. I am all for it!

I believe that the “group blogging” functionality is on the list for the upcoming major upgrade planned for later this year.

Indeed, when we move to Movable Type later this year, it should be possible to set up group blogs (along with image upload and a whole bevy of other features).

Ah, so it wasn’t just my usual stupidity when I couldn’t upload a PDF earlier today, Matt?!
-
Matt, when can we anticipate the switch to the new Movable Type?
-
I’m afraid I can’t put a sharp date on this, as it relies on many factors beyond the team’s control, plus plenty of techy work. But we’re talking sometime in the next few months.
