[Hidden-tech] question about blogs

[B. Kimo Lee]

Hi Robin,

You could set up each prompt as a category in the blog, and then each response would be filed under the category. One possible issue is the length of the category heading, which in your case would be the prompt. Would it work to create a short category and then the first blog post under that category would be the prompt? All subsequent posts related to that prompt would be filed under that category. 

You could set the category blogroll to display with the oldest posts first so that people would see the prompt post first. 

Over time, you might need to create a series of top-level categories under which to file the various prompt categories.

The above would mean that all of your group members would need to be authors in your blog system.

Hope that makes sense as an option.

Best,
Kimo
