Hello I am very new to Buddy press but have played around with WordPress for a few months now
I have to set up a blog for a new and up coming band who already have a lot of followers on twitter, fb ect…. So i am going to set them up a blog, will buddy press be the best thing for this you think?
The main things i want is a home page which displays latest blog they have posted, then a page about each member 3 of them with blog feeds, and maybe integration with twitter.
and then an “about us” and “Events” Page. Also future plans will be a forum, shout box and also chat rooms so they can talk to the band. I want people to be able to regester so they can recive updates and also post comments on blogs not on there pages.
Is there a place i need to start?
Thanks

For the first stage of the process (blog, feeds, twitter integration) BuddyPress is overkill. WordPress by itself will be great for this purpose.

If you want forums and other social features, BuddyPress will be a good option. The best place to start is by installing BP on a test installation, playing around with it and asking questions in these forums. Good luck!
