Hi Lads,
How could I set up a situation where I have effectively two parallel blogs, one where others post and I moderate and comment occasionally, and the other where I do all the posting.
Thanks,
Hugh

Hi Hugh
If this is happening on the same domain/same WP install then I’d imagine there are two challenges:
1. Display content:
This is the relatively easy part. We could use the Post Loop widget and select the categories we want to display each time.
2. Users:
If users are posting they have a user account with certain rights. But you don’t want them to have rights over your blog. We’ll need a plugin for this, let me go look around.

Thanks for finding that for me. I’ll try that out.

For sure. Hope you make progress on this. The other option would be to setup another WordPress installation on your domain, perhaps at a forward slash extension.
domain.com/my-other-blog
or a subdomain:
my-other-blog.domain.com
