    Choosing blog software

    I noticed a discussion here about having a separate blog devoted to fiction projects, rather than mingling chapters with normal "chatter" entries. Which makes perfect sense, and for reasons I wouldn't have thought of, such as a pure RSS feed.
    Thank you for the input.

    Perhaps somebody can help me with this.
    I am considering a work composed of several "threads" or different stories.
    Is there a way to have several blogs that contribute equally to a feed?

    For instance, if I were to post a chapter of one on Monday, another on Tuesday, and another writer to another blog on Wednesday, would it be possible for the RSS to combine them, so a subscriber would get an chapter each day?

    I understand, by the way that Nucleus is capable of creating many different blogs from a single installation, and therefore the same directory or sub-domain. Has anybody tried this?
    Is Nucleus inferior to WordPress?

    Never tried Nucleus. Wordpress has a version called WPMU (wordpress multiple user) that does the job you describe. Simple to install and use. There are also plugins such as buddypress (social networking) and several forum addons.

    I would just use WordPress, then make categories. You can setup the URLs to be something.com/category/post-title. Then, you basically have one site with subsections that are different blogs. If you want to make everything different templates and whatnot, and they're going to be very different in content, then I would do Blogger with subdomains. fiction.mysite.com, me.mysite.com, reviews.mysite.com, etc. The benefit here is that Google will treat them as separate sites, which will increase their power in their given area, rather than having broad relevancy that one all-inclusive blog would have.
