Howdy, I asked this question in the Versatility II section, but I'm realizing now that it's not specific to that template, instead it's general to Joomla and RocketTheme.
I'm building a site for a book publisher and in the Authors (1st level) section the four main authors each get their own (2nd level) home page, complete with dedicated and frequently updated content (ex: contact, appearances, blog, links to other writers... etc.). I'd like each author to have their own home page, but only have it populated by articles and content from each writer's own category or section.
Is RocketTheme (with Supersucker navigation) incapable of nested home pages? I don't think so, but I might be trying to build something too complex and just can't see how to make the Blog page work within this structure to create these nested sub-sites.
Any advice (or pointers to where I can find these answers) is welcome. Thanks!

Michael, maybe this tab plugin will work for you. What I would do is make a separate category for each author for their articles. Then you could display them all with this tab plugin on the home page. I would make a nested menu like you said.
http://extensions.joomla.org/component/option,com_mtree/task,viewlink/link_id,1046/Itemid,35/
Check out the demo and see if this might help.
Cheers,
Mike

Hi Michael,
If your hosting allows, you can set up 4 seperate sub-domains. For example:
www.sub-domain.domain.com
Domain = publishers main homepage. (with the main MySQL database)
Sub-domain = one for each of the 4 authors and if your hosting allows, you should set up seperate My SQL databases for each of the 4 authors.
Joomla can be installed on each sub-domain, as if it were it's own seperate website.
Hope that helps.
