How to Manage a Contributor Blog Well

I found myself part of a contributor blog back before anyone really knew what blogs were, let alone contributor blogs! In the years since, I’ve moved from Blogger to WordPress and found out how many plugins there are to help manage a contributor blog. But more than just plugins, I learned the do’s and don’t’s of maintaining a multi-author blog for the long haul. I compiled the best tips from my years of running a group blog into a series for the Allume blog:
