Id like two sets of comments for each blog post our users create. Here's the scenario: there are two levels of users. The first level does not have their own blog on our site; lets say they are just a regular member, have some newsletter subscriptions, read a lot of the blogs, and occasionally posts comments on the blogs.
We have another set of users that are the actual blog writers. I would like each of these blog writers to be able to comment on other blog writers (within our site) stories. So from a visual perspective, I would like two columns of comments underneath each blog post.
Lets say Im using a 3 column layout....left column for navigation, right column for ads/recent posts, etc. Middle column for blog posts and underneath each blog post, the middle column will be split into two equal areas. The left side of the middle column will have other blog posters comments, and the right side of the middle column will have standard users (non blog owners) comments.
I'd like for our users to be able to quickly determine which comments were written by other bloggers, and which were written by standard blog readers (using a different color scheme/font/whatever).
Is there a way, when creating a user profile, that a variable is set to either A)blogger or B)reader. From then on, their comments will be placed into the correct location under each blog.
Are there certain modules I should be utilizing?
