Over the past year I’ve written about a variety of tools, hacks, and plugins which anyone can use to build their WordPress installation into a WordPress blog, but they are scattered around a little bit.   If you’re looking for a consolidated post which provides a lot of this information in one place, I’m going to recommend a recent post over at Hongkiat which provides 35 tips and tricks to manage your multi-author blog.

A few notable plugins which I have not covered here yet:

• Co-Authors Plugin – Gives you the ability to assign multiple authors to a post.
• List Author Widget – Displays a list of authors in your WordPress Sidebar Widgets linking to the authors.php page.
• Draft Notification – Emails the admin whenever a new draft is saved or post is pending approval.
• Author Advertising – Allows revenue sharing among blog administrators.   Works with a number of advertising programs, including AdSense, Yahoo Publisher Network, etc.

If you run a multi-author weblog, you may be interested in a WordPress plugin called the Role Manager plugin.  With this plugin, you can control what each role can and cannot do!
