Multiple Author Blogs

I've been learning a lot about multiple author blogs since I've been working with the eatsalem.com restaurant review blog. It has been a real learning experience. Running a blog with multiple authors takes a lot of organization.

What SalemMan and KandN (online names for the two people who run eatsalem.com) have done is to open the blog to all the writers, but then there is a "scheduler" who decides when the blog articles should be published.

So, as a writer, I will go into the blog, write my post, save it to drafts, and then I am finished. KandN is the scheduler, so she decides which post to publish when and sets them up on a schedule with a time for them to autopublish. I didn't even realize you could do that on blogger until I got involved with this project. You set up some time in the future that you want to publish a post, and then you just sit back and watch it publish. What I like about this feature is that you can plan ahead if you are going to be busy and you don't have long lapses in your postings.

I've really enjoyed working with eatsalem.com. It does get a little difficult to keep up with all the blogs and homework, but it is a really good learning experience and one that I hope to continue working on.
