I'm looking for some advice on the best way to set up a multi-author blog. I'm in the process of setting up a blog that will have 4-6 authors, all blogging once a day, M-F. The topic (and consequently, the blog entry's subject) they are blogging on will be the same for each author each day, with each author's view of the subject being the main difference.
I need advice in two areas.
First, would it be better to set this up as one multi-author blog, or as 4-6 blogs which are linked to each other? If it is set up as one multi-author blog, would it be better to have 4-6 posts, all with the same title, or 1 post, with each author's view in a different color? (The problem with the single post method would be the lack of ability to read just one author's views. The problem with the 4-6 posts on one blog is the redundancy of subject. And the problem with multiple linked blogs would be controlling the feel and connectedness of the blogs as a group.
Second, where would be the best place to host these blogs? I'd like to use a service where readers of other blogs can stumble upon this blog (or series of blogs), and preferably one that is free. I don't have facebook or myspace, and would like those to be last options at best.
I realize that much of this is personal opinion, but I'd appreciate those opinions anyway. Thanks for your help!
