That does sound like a pretty 'relational' approach to me. It's not that yo=
u can't do this, but you might want to consider blog posts to be a self con=
tained document, since it makes some things more relaxing (updating an auth=
or's name would be less relaxing, but how often does that happen?). Doing a=
way with 'joins' can really be a relief!
